pulleys? agency power?

hey again there guys, just asked a question about midpipes, now got some about pulleys, saw on the forum lots of guys have the agency power pulleys and seems like it's worth the buck for cheap power, was wondering if it would affect my amps and subs and whatnot, cuz i dont want the car not having enough current to run my electronics, electronics ftw !! thankss buddies

If you are worried about performance, I would start by removing the amp and subwoofer from the car. If you are stuck with having these noise blasters than I wouldn't recommend the AP pulley, depending on just how much power you are currently extracting from your sound system.

Honestly, even without the stereo system, I didn't feel much of a difference at all with the pulley from a performance stand point. It's a cheap mod that is a fun DIY, but it really isn't going to give you any noticable gains whatsoever. You should think about doing a nice clutch and flywheel instead

depends where you are located. If you are on the east coast I know a few places that will give you a killer deal! If not ask around, it's all in who you know.
