Default Powerbond pulley

Ok, i know, but I just got done putting it on and took it for a test drive. Here are my conclusions.....

The lights do get dimm (M6) but is back to normal while cruising.
Throttle response is nice. Like everyone says, it does rev quicker.
Looks a hell of a lot nicer that the stock POS!
Overall, pretty pleased with the product. New design looks good. (its painted black now)

And yes it was a PITA doing it in the driveway with no lift!!

the charging issue is understandable... I mean when you have alternator problems on a vehicle and you test for it the output can sometimes be as high as 11 instead of the intended 13... if you're reducing output by 25% thats down to about 9.75 its understanable that you will see signs such as lights dimming... well for the longest time I had no intention on doing so but I've now decided to go with an altenator pulley aswell... might as well its not like it will rob much of the hp gained right :p

good to hear though... how much was the powerbond/slp pulley?

thats a pretty decent price man! I like Byun Speed their prices are EXTREMELY competitive...

just about anywhere offers an alternator pulley with their various pulleys... if you want to buy it seperately be sure to get the shorter belt as well...

Yeah, but it took me about a month to get it cuz they were out and waiting on another shipment, but it was worth the wait.

if you have a stereo system that draws alot of amps or say the combination of lights and e-waterpump and its possibly you could drain your system... but if you're running stock electrical system you should be fine...

If you get a UD crank pulley & an OD alt pulley would you then still use the stock belt?
