Am I missing something? Usually you put a larger pulley on to turn the accessory less...

Undersizing the pulley would make the compressor spin faster, but ware would powre gain come from?

Shorter belt means smaller pulley, means faster spinning compressor, which doesn't necessarily mean more cold air, just maybe at idle. And... that's CERTAINLY NOT how "underdrive" is defined!!

Oh wait! That says "under pulley". What the heck does THAT mean? Undersized? That means over-driven? Hmmm, that could end up overspeeding your compressor, SHORTENING it's life, couldn't it?

As was asked, where does the "MORE POWER OUT OF YOUR ENGINE" come from??

Seems like a buncha' hooey to me.

Let's see 'em come on here and back up their claims.

We'll see.....
