The underdrive was a great plus!
Having it has allowed extended RPMS for many minutes at a time.
Helped cool the Power Sterring fluid
Helped cool the engine collant.
Helped reduce the belt speed and its stability
Never a problem with Alternating charging at night or AC output when idleing at 850 rpm
I can not see spending the time to remove it. Sorry.

Default Strong 1/4 mile (my definition)

As a road race car, I think it has a strong 1/4 mile.

The road racing suspension give me a shitty launch, 60 foot times ar 2.2 to 2.6 seconds (slower than stock so you can not completly blame this driver)

Yet with the handicap of suspension, and the wieght of the welded in chassis stiffinging (must easly be over 130 lbs, plus big heavy rims/tires and a 200 lb driver.

My only 1/4 run this year 2010 at Infineon raceway was my best. So you can see the car has only improved with the 12k miles a year I put on it to and from work. Here are some numbers.
  1. It still is a second quicker than stock 12.2
  2. and the terminal speed can hit 110mph.
