To do pulleys or not do pulleys????

Hey guys im looking into throwing a set of pulleys on my JDM H22 before I drop it back into the lude an was curious bout your opinions. I mainly want em cause I live in Texas where we live with the A/C on, and want something to help me with the drag I get. Think they would help much?

Thanks
Dane

Yep, they'll help with the drag, but your AC will not be as cold...especially idle...however, to me, the AC difference is not really noticable if you're driving around and not sitting still.

Like temp, as he said, it won't be as cold as before because it is underdriven.

AEM type pullies have nothing to do with A/C.

If you use pullies, at idle the alternator will not be able to produce a required 14v current. All I did was adjust the Idle screw on the TB to bring the rpm higher.

If you have high powered car audio, you might want to consider turning up the idle so the alternator can still generate enough juice.
