I want to install pullies on my car..but I heard that its not really worth it.cause it does NOT re-charge the alternator that much. I also have a system in my car. I mean..can you really feel any HP out of this..?

I put Aluminum BBK Underdrive pulleys on my car and i felt a lot of a power increase. I have Two Twelves and sometimes i do have to watch my volt gage but if you are that worried about the volts than just leave the alternator pulley off and install the crank and water pump pulley instead.

It spins my crank so much quicker!

Its probably the best bang for the buck mod you can do. I have driven about 60,000 miles with underdrive pullies and haven't had any problems with heating. If your car over heats with underdrivepullies, then you have issues elsewhere. As for the battery charge, just leave the stock alternator pully on if the underdrive one is larger.
