I looked at your question regarding the AP underdrive pulley. First the OP of the thread you linked to might be having alternator issues. I have had the AP pulley on my car for quite some time and have no problems pulling 13.8 - 14 volts at idle.
Increasing your idle speed can help compensate with any power loss. I've bumped my idle speed to 900 rpms because it smooths out the idle and doesn't cause any hunting.
An idle speed change comes part of MazdaManiac's tunes.
I hope that answers your question.

Does raising the idle to 900 make it much better? Mine is pretty smooth at the 830 so I'm curious.

Yeah, that whole thing really sucked. I'm just glad that you are still in business because you make a good product. The upgrade kit was the turbo I originally planned on putting in when I decided to go FI. The updates to the AP tunes seem to have made that whole process a lot smoother too.

Lol, Look at it this way. not like you can really drive your 8 in the snow 
Especially with the storm that just hit. I can be patient enough to wait for a calibration rather than having it rushed and screwed up.. I'd rather MM takes his time and fine tunes than rushing things out the door..
