Default UD Pulley Issues??

How many people out there have had issues with an UD pulley? Charging issues or anything of that nature?

No problem here. My alternator gauge will drop off some at idle with the factory idle setting and AC on but has not been a problem. I tried bumping my idle up from factory 575 to 625 and it gives full charge. Right now I have it set at 600 and it will drop a tad but acceptable as far as I'm concerned. With the pulley and gutted cats I went from 409 hp to 427 on the dyno. Don't know which gave what but a nice gain.
