I put the asp pulley kit on, for the crank and alt. Ever since then my battery needle is always on the edge of the red. Now I understand why and all, but shoulld I step it up to a stronger alternator? I'm afraid it's going to wear down the battery. Just wondering what everybody else does in this situation.

Wow that sucks, no problems here with my ud pully. I also have an Electric water pump from Meziere pulling current. I usually make 13.1 volts at idle. No o/d pully for the alt either. Good luck..

im assuming you got an underdrive pully and underdrive alternator pulley, its hard to tell from the post. So all you should do is put on the stock alt pulley and get a new belt, and if youre still having trouble then get an overdrive pulley. If youre still having trouble then you need a new alt.
