Default Are pullies worth the install ???

Well just like the title says are they worth it?

I wanted to get your opinoins on what you guys thought. Im doing a cam swap and LS1 fans and thought of maybe getting a underdrive pullie set along with it.

Then I thought about the e fans and maybe I might have issuses with drawing to much power from the battery and the alt. not being up to par. I also know they have a overdrive pullie for the alt. but I dont know the postives and negatives to doing the pullie change.

Basically let me know what your guys personnal experience using combination of underdrive/underdrive or underdrive/overdrive or even just the underdrive pullie and leave the alt. pullie alone.

Thanks in advance

I have e-fans and under drive crank pulley only. No charging problems and I also have a 2300 watt stereo system on my stock 105 amp alternator.

if oyu are doing a cam swap. you might as well go ahead and do a pulley at the same time. you lready have the stock pulley off.
it will be fine with the pullies and elec fans.
and they are very much worth the money.
