Question New Pulley, Do I need a Tune?

It is time for new belts for my Z and I was thinking of upgrading to a new crank pulley. I run a couple amps for my stereo also. I had two quick questions:

What setup do I need with the pulley? Do I have to get the alt pulley also, or can I just go with the crank?

Also I was wondering if it was a must to get a tune for the pulley?(either a programmer or dyno tune)

What setup and what products?

Thanks for the help!!

Just the Crank is fine, I would go with just the Crank with your Stereo and all. You don't need a tune with just a pulley.

The one thing to remember is most of the pulleys are designed for HP only. The alt isn't going to charge as good, if your going to do a pulley I would realy research it & get one that has very little under drive. As far as a tune goes, if your going to do other major mods I would wait...
