hey!!! okay i got my dual-groove pulley on monday and had it installed today...after about 7 hours of having it in the shop (yeah i was really surprised it took that long)...they finally finished!! Unfortunately i wasn't able to get the measurements of the new belts needed...i will try to go back there tomorrow and find out for my fellow 7thgeners...okay now the air conditioner losing power issue is almost non-existent...the a/c works about the same as before...i did feel that the power steering got a little weaker...but its not too noticeable...and finally the gains...according the my "butt dyno" my car seems to pull alot more....but you all know how accurate those dynoes are...so just to see if any gains were actually made or if it was just me i'll be taking my car to the track next saturday!!! From what i've felt so far...this pulley seems to be living up to its expectations!! great work dh-racing!!!
P.s. the shopowner told me that my alternator is now working slower since the pulley was installed...what will be possible reprocussions of this?

That's cool, but I have a moderate system, and stuff dims as it is with all the lights I have running off it. I hope this won't be a problem. As long as the voltage stays up, it should be fine. I've got a voltmeter, so I guess I'll have to wait and see.

damn, alternator working slower? my lights already dim as it is with my reg speakers and 1 1200w sub. I hope this wont be a problem. How much did it cost to install?
sadly it cost $180 which includes the labor and new belts....i still feel like i got jipped (sp?)...but its on now and that's all that matters to me...
If you go back tomorrow to ask for the belt sizes, can you also ask the shop owner what will the "slower alternator" effect? For example, would you still be able to run a decent sized system?
So I'm guessing that means it won't be putting out the usual 14.4 volts. Well, hmmm.... we'll see what happens. The car already has problems without a system. Just rolling up the windows is enough to dim the lights. I have two amps and sub, tons of LEDs and glow wire, neon underglows, and other things. Hope the car can handle itself.

Thanks for reporting back now that you've installed it. People always say "I'll tell you how it is when I install it" and then they never post about it. Good job. Be sure to post your track times.
