Unorthodox S or Sc pulley?

I am going to be ordering an Unorthodox UDP for my vehicle by next week and I am trying to figure out which one to get. The S is actually an UDP where as the Sc is just a lightened version. I like my A/C and have a nice stereo system sitting in my closet waiting for install. Does anyone have experience with one or the other? I know they make a great product and I really do want the S since it frees up more power but I am concerned about how it wil affect the A/C and alternator. Someone please help me choose.

I just installed a MotoStorm UDP and I feel a definate difference. The price was much cheaper as well. That is always an option.

NA people - no need to get the SC version.

SC pulleys are for supercharged people who want a light weight crank pulley without losing boost with smaller diameter.

from what I heard over the board....it wont.


in addition, the gain of lighten pulley with stock diameter might be less than that with smaller diameter.

maxi-overdose, your ride is sweet. You did all your mods yourself? do you have a degree in this or something or just very mecanically inclined?

thx

well, I was not mechanically inclinded when I started modding the car. Then I met Y2KevSE and bought his supercharger. He did the install for me and I had a chance to learn quite a lot from him. After I got some skill, I felt a bit confident working on my car.

Well, even though not many people wanted to help me with this decision, I took it upon myself and did a 2 hr search this morning through cardomain and figured out that there are many people who have the ultra S and have no problems with the a/c or the alternator. So my decision is to go with the Ultra S and gain the extra horses from underdriving and lightening at the same time. Thanks for the few who voted on my poll.
