I used a large vise grip (pipe fitting design) with a towel wrapped around the alternator's pulley to keep it from spinning...... then used a large socket wrench on the alternator's nut.

yes that is true an impact is NOT NEEDED, but recomended. personal prefferance. I think the 1 1/2 seconds it takes with an impact is worth the removing of the intake.... but again thats all up to you.
some people chose the wrench and the trying to hold it from spinning. I tried that, didnt like the way it was going so I just removed the intake.

but then again, Speed's intake was rediculously easy to pull out....mine on the other hand was a pain in the rear. We ended up removing the entire alternator and removing the nut once we had the entire peice on the ground. Otherwise, I would have had to remove my front bumper, and front bumper rebar to remove the Racing Beat CAI, and then once that was removed, reach inside the Racing Beat Intake box to remove the bolts holding it to the frame...oh forget it...it was easier to remove the darn alternator. For those with Racing Beat intakes, try and get around the airbox removal.

I upgraded my battery a while back, but I still have the original starter and alternator.
So for me, there are no issues.

Battery upgrade is not necessary if a person gets the UR pullies. A bit deceiving how it was mentioned. I would have thought someone had a problem with the charging system the way that was mentioned.
I have not heard of any charging issues with the UR pullies.
No problems in the cold either .

I upgraded the battery because my lights would dim when the bass would hit. (I have sub/amp in the trunk).
The battery upgrade had nothing to do with the pulleys. It was done before I got the pulleys.

I assume you are talking about the flashing CEL?
And how do you reset the sensor?? Disconnect the battery?

Turn key to the run position
Tap brake pedal 20 times or until the oil pressure gauge does a sweep

Here is the issue I have since installing my Agency Crank Underdrive Pulley --
Flashing CEL above 4200 rpms, regardless of what gear.
The sCANalyser has shown a P0300 & P0302 Solid CEL.
After installing the pulley, I did not do anything but drive it....... no attempts to clear memory. Since the 1st flashing CEL I have cleared the memory by doing the brake pedal thing & the ODO reset thing. Neither are helping to stop the flashing CEL above 4200 rpms.
I would like y'alls advice on how to get rid of the flashing CEL's.

What are those CEL's. (P0300 & P0302)? What, if anything, have you received on feedback from Agency Power? Have you attempted to email them or get technical support? They may have received calls from other 8 owners and may have a quick solution or response for you.
I have never seen a CEL on my vehicle, but can imagine the frustration of having to deal with them. No CEL's with the Unorthodox Set.

The ECU has to have the following done after the pulley install:
Negative terminal disconnected from battery.
Plug back in after stepping on the brakes for 10 seconds (this drains any sitting energy).
Excentric shaft reset via the brake pedal 20 tap after turning to the run position.
Then take it easy on the car for a week so the ECU can learn the differences the pulleys make.
