Im going off of information from another forum. There is a large thread on there about it and I was reading and talking and alot of guys are saying that it does dreain your battery down. 
Now I am naturally going to repeat what they say as that is the only evidence I PERSONALLY have. Now if you say it works for your vette, thats great. I will look into it some more and figure out whos fibbin on the other forum and who actually knows what there talkn about. I read on vader86s website that our alternators turn slowly and I talked about that on the other forum. Im taking this all into conclusion and trying to piece it together. Also, MAD has posted outrageous claims from there products so please dont take it personally as I feel gullable from buying there airfoil and believing it added 12 horsepower. I am trying to pick thru the bs but it is hard as I do not have all the accessories, dynos, ect. I was just stating my stance on it from the best account I can give it. Give no regard to my post against your word. If you say it works, I have no reason to doubt you. Also I am not trying to start an agrument/debate here so dont take my post the wrong way**hard to tell stuff over the net not being taken the wrong way**
Thank you for you input.

I wasn't trying to debate or argue either...that is not my intention. I know what I have tried over the last several years that has worked, and what hasn't...for me. Like I said, it's all the little things that add up too. A lot of people seem to forget that. The last few cars I have built were all budget built so I look at what will make the most from the least. Like I said in my original quoted link above, my car shows 14.3 volts at idle, compared to 14.4 at idle before the pulley swap. That's more than enough to satisfy any battery. 
and I have no idea if it did anything, but I did get an airfoil...because it was only 20 bucks shipped. It can't hurt...lol.

I know but I was new to vettes so I bought alot of junk. All together I bought the "tornado, air foil, power coupler". I thought it was all helping. Then I purchased the K&N but I am getting ready to sell it in the for sale section this week. I am putting in a paper filter. I dont feel like messing with the K&N anymore. Its going to be a PITA to re-oil. I dont want to over oil it. I just want my money back out of it.

[B]WOW, 10-15 HP from pulleys, 10-15 from an air foil, 10-15 from an air coupler, another 10-15 from a tornado,10-15 from a K&N filter, thats a minimum of 50 and a max of about 75 horses with about 40 mpg to boot, this corvette mod stuff is EASY.
