Would you get the 3 piece set or just get the crank pulley? If so, which set would you buy?

RE: Underdrive pulleys

crank pulley only. you won't have any charging problems and the crank pulley is where you gain the largest hp increase. I went with asp and it's been good so far.

RE: Underdrive pulleys

When I called ASP they wanted $150 for just that one pulley....ouch

Is there any place to get it cheaper?

RE: Underdrive pulleys

Has anyone really experienced catastrophic problems with using all 3? Sure, the crank only will give you the most, but the other 2 would have to be good for something more of an increase. I was just wondering where the point of diminishing returns is.

RE: Underdrive pulleys

I have heard stories of alternator failure when using certain set-ups.

DICLAIMER: I have no experience with these and this is only word of mouth...

RE: Underdrive pulleys

Not sure if its coincidental or not, but my alternator failed after using the pullies for about 9 months. The car had 70k on it when the alternator went. I also experienced higher operating temps. When I install the blower, the unit will not clear the larger water pump pulley and will require changing the belt size to an as yet undetermined size, so I will be going with the stock pulley setup when it is installed.

RE: Underdrive pulleys

they just break on there own. there is no way to connect them to gether like that. i have had a lot of alternators die on me and none of them had pulleys on them.
