I had the same concerns before I installed my UDP, there is a great discussion here:

My experience is that the 4" pulley worked fine in all conditions including using the A/C while sitting on the grid for 20 mins while waiting for my turn to time trial during 105F days at the racetrack.
Your mileage may vary.
