well this shows how stupid I am... I honestly havent even thought about this. I planned on installing a pulley along with my torque converter and camshaft! UGHHHH looks like thats outta the question with my sound system.

i'll test it out for you, i only have 120A of stereo, but i also have a 250A alt. but i'm about to get an underdrive pulley, whatever happens happens, if it doesnt work i'll sell the pulley, or better yet, sell the damn system, i'm tired of pulling it out to go to the track...

I think you can get the pulley, but also get another amp and battery maybe that will help.

gains of pulley + extra weight of amp and battery = little gain if any...

i kind of agree with u on that. first thing i did when i got my car was spend a shitload of money on the system, and then i realized i should have spent that money on go fast parts. but then again, when i turn my stereo on, i forget all about that.
