Its like changing a blower pulley. When you go to a smaller pulley you don't change the speed of your belt, you change the speed of that one component. All the pulley manufacturers reccomend NOT using their alternator pulley if you have a system like yours. Dont try to go to a smaller then stock one either. The pulley that it came with was meant to turn at that speed. To underdrive it is fine but to overdrive it causes it to work harder than it was meant too. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ELdiablo97</b> <br /><small>Member # 1849</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,8,15,22,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Fast472Mach1:<br /><strong> Your belt is going to move the same speed regardless of your pulley.
