a VSC is just the black boc that you plug everything into and use a screwdriver as a temp adjuster for the fans.. I thought getting under drive pullies made charging worse but increased horsepower?? how much smaller would the belt need to be? would the tensioner help that out at all?

ASP is the company that makes the pullies for all alternators.
Tensioner would work too I assume. This is what I hear, I haven't done this yet!

How do you know what temp the screw is at?

you pretty much have to play around with it until you think its good. watch your temp on the dash and keep adjusting.. well if the underdrive would help i have one local that would work for me..

hey Whippled2door.. what did you do to make your upper radiator hose not hit the belt next to the alternator? im thinking of a custom bracket? I can see a small slit in the hose starting to form, just curious.. thanks!

yea theres one in the area for just the crank that i want to get for 40 bucks, but i cant get ahold of the guy. i want to get a bigger alternator anyways, so im not going to wrry with that one.

Careful with that underdrive pulley. They're usually sold in sets. I have system from summitt on my truck. After installation I had charging issues, I have a 200 amp alt. The underdrive system slowed it down to slow and caused it to fail prematurely. To correct it I purchased an overdive pulley for the alt. This was suggested by the alt. manufacturer, (Power Shot I think) they even told me whereto get it (March Pulleys) and which one to purchase. they fixed my alt. for free. Problem solved. I went from a 96in belt to a 93 in belt. It runs great and they say it's good for about 12 hp. Just my 2 cents.

When you did the underdrive pulleys, did you originally just put it on the crank or both the alternator and crank?how much was the overdrive pulley?
