By changing the diameter of pulleys running off your engine you can increase
or decrease the amount of revolutions the pulleys get (think about gear ratios
for a moment, and general gearing thoughts) Anyhow, using an underdrive pulley
you can make less revolutions, sapping less power. This is good to use on say
power steering or A/C. I do think that underdriving your accessories probably
sacrifices how well they perform. You'll probably get less steering assist
and cooling. I don't think it's wise to mess with your alternator.


I got it in some Honda FAQ from Customimport.com

Any comment?


Hmm.... I have them. You WON'T notice a steering difference. You WILL notice an alternator and A/C difference. Your A/C will be weaker and your lights will probably dim at idle. My lights get noticably brighter when I rev my engine after idling. One thing though... all of the symptoms go away after you hit 1500 RPMs or so.
