I will probably go with this: TechnoPower2 Kit
Not sure how the UP will affect the car on the street. Will it affect water pump preformance?
I wasn't looking for this specific product ( in the link ) just came across it by mistake and was wondering.

Regarding the underpulley, I'd be more concerned with the AC in Ft Laud, although mine continued to stay cold. I had zero problem with the water pump or alternator.

thanks GR

that is exactly my concern.
if the AC will not work in full capacity, i assume so will the water pump.
if driving on the highway at high RPM i don't believe it will be any problem. i am more concern of cruising down the beach on a very hot day.
seating in traffic with the engine mostly idling, might cause overheating. (i can live with a low AC sufficiency, not sure if the engine would like to have low sufficiency water pump )
with that said, i will appreciated recommendation for a specific UP. worst case i will sale it.

I had one of these and the butt dyno was clear on the improvement, I think Jake also documented the improvement.

Just take your time and shape the part of the case that needs to be trimmed, it files like butter.
