UD Pulley question whatsup - ive already looked at search but i needed a more specific answer
i have a 2002 z28 M6 and i want to a put on an UD pulley - i was wondering if my idle would be affected at all - currently i idle at 1050-1100 and i would like it to stay there, or at max dip down 200 rpms. also will this mod cause strain on any other parts on my car ? i mean will this mod force me to replace other parts down the line because of the strain it causes? thanks!

no it wont strain anything else it just slows down the rest of the accessory belt aka water pump, power steering, alternator and such and it shouldn change your idle. most people like ud pulleys but i kinda shy away cuz of how my car is driven, im not crazy about slowin down any part of the cooling system. the only strain i can think of is gonna be on your arms when you turn at a stop lol

just changing your pulley should have no affect on your idle...at least not noticably.
i never had a problem with cooling even in south florida heat.
i didn't put on an alternator over drive pulley...which keeps the alt turning near stock speed...and when i have alot of demand on the system i notice the headlights dim at idle. but this is only when i have things like lights, fogs, radio, air vent, wipers....ALL going at the same time....which is rare. and i'm also a manual with an idle of 850 ro 900rpm.
