Re: pulley ??? Three piece? You mean two...as in crank and alternator?
Just go with the crank pulley. The gains come from slowing the waterpump down...not from slowing the alternator down. Charging will be better without doing the alternator pulley.

Re: pulley ??? I never take mine off but some dealers are more liberal than others. Some will give you hassle about anything where as others really could care less. Just depends on who you're dealing with.
Re: pulley ??? I went with the ASP crank pulley and the "over drive" (not the underdrive) alternator pulley. This way I am spinning the alternator at the factory speed. If you just do the crank, you are still spinning the alternator slower than the factory speed. You should not have any problems with warenty. When I thought I had bent a pushrod, the guy at the dealership said "as long as you have never opened the engine, you can bolt whatever you want on it."
