Default ASP alternator pulley worth it? anyone running it on an M6?

I've been running the asp crank pulley and I love it. Nice gains.
Do you think it is worth it to throw on the alt. pulley. Will it gain me much.
After my cam install, during programming, I had my idle bumped up to help smooth out the idle, so I might not have a charging issue.
Anyone running it??

It won't be worth your time. I pulled off my alt pulley a while back since I have a pretty big stereo and couldn't afford to loss of voltage. Made ZERO difference at the track or dyno....

Excuse me, but I was under impression, that ASP alternator pulley will INCREASE alternator speed, if anything, resulting in possible LOSS of power?

You are right. I sure wouldn't put underdrive alternator pulley on a street car, but now I understand.

Most people will say a .1 and 1 MPH in the 1/4.

Where is the crank pully getting it's power from? Are there any dangers associated?
