underdrive pulley
To you guys with an underdrive pulley, has you water temp. went up much? If I install a 25% underdrive will my water pump speed be reduced by 25%?

It will be reduced (as will the other accessories) although I haven't seen anyone mention an issue with the stock water pump. I know there have been some issues with the Evan's pump but it is a different design.

Had one on my vert here in Az. for two years-no difference in temp. Had to take it off to install supercharger.

My temps went up 10-15 degrees below 2000 rpms. If I get on it the temps drop to 180 (165 theromostat). No issues so far. I don't know what the summer will bring.
