question is....
does overdrive always mean bigger pulley, and underdrive always mean smaller pulley?
or does overdrive mean more speed, and underdrive mean less speed?
a smaller pulley on the crank (typically known as underdrive pulley), spins the accessories slower.....including the alt
so in order to get the alt spinning back up to stock speed you need to overdrive it, which in this case means a smaller alt pulley.
confusing
some math:
6" crank, 2" alt = 1:3 rotation
4" crank, 2" alt = 1:2 rotation....alt spinning slower, what we call underdriven generally
4" crank, 1.5" alt = 1:2.7 rotation so the alt is spinning faster, overdriven
4" crank, 2.5" alt = 1:1.6 rotation, so the alt is spinning slower, underdriven

swapping the alt pulley to overdrive or underdrive isnt gonna have a change in power all that much. wont even be noticeable
conan, im confused now haha. on ASP website, why is the underdrive alt pulley smaller than the stock alt pulley in the pic if it spins faster?
