I have March underdrives on the Cobra, and no problems...the lights dim very slightly at streetlights and drivethrus but nothing major...Pulleys are a great mod.

I think unless you have the 130 alternator (which you do), you will likely have some charging problems at idle. On my car with a mark 8 electric fan and underdrives at a 650 rpm idle I'd see the volts dip quite a bit. Around 800 rpms though it's where it should be.

Stick on a 180 thermostat and enjoy the pullies. I've been running a 180 thermostat and underdrive pullies along with an electric fan with the stock alternator for 80,000 miles. I kill my pep boys house brand battery every year to year and half. Finally the stock alternator died and I just installed a 3G for only $30 more than the stock 2G at Autozone.
