Combo pulleys?
#3
Cool, I'm not much into underdriving my accessory pulleys, but curious if the belt that comes with the AP pulley will work equally as well on the Greddy pulley's and if it causes any wierdness in idling or such.

Less rotational mass is all, might work easier with the underdriven crank pulley. Not really a performance gain, more of a reliability gain? My thinking is that if you're reducing the size and rotational mass of one pulley, and not the others, one will be trying to spin faster than the others? And I thought maybe with the lightened Greddy pulleys, it might be easier for the underdriven pulley to work? I have no clue, just guesstimating.

BTW - when you fit underdrive to main drive pulley you are slowing down the alt and water pump .

Ive heard people complaine about the AP pully and less AC coolneess.. I have not noticed any problems.. I live in CA and have my AC on all the time... Stays nice and cold for me.. As for the Greddy Pully, THey are the same size as the OE pully so there should not be any reason they would conflict with the AP pully.

the gain from less rotational mass from water pump & alt pulleys would be so small that it would not be worth it . The only real gain is from underdriving and even that is small (2-3 hp)

To tell you the truth, I'd just like a lightened main pulley as well. Also, speaking of combos, I wonder what the AP pulley and the ARC water pump underdrive pulley or water pump overdrive pulley would be like?

I have the much maligned SR motorsports pulleys. I noticed absolutely no difference after installing them, but it's impossible to "feel" the 1-2 horsepower they free up. One of those "feel" good mods.
If I had it to do over again, I would just get the Agency Power underdrive crank pulley. People seem to get good results with it.

I already had the AP pulley but just installed this alt pulley tonight. The weight of the new pulley feels like 1/3 the wieght of the stock pulley. One thing I did notice is my volt meter now reads 14.8 where it read 14.4 with the stock alt pulley. Went for a short ride but not sure if the slight improvement in acceleration was due to the new pulley or the cool temps.....upper 40's.
