To be honest trevor, I don't see the stocker really doing much along the lines of dampening vibrations. I have been running an undersized pulley for my S/C for quite some time now with the only alternator issue being that sometimes it likes to get torn off the car Either way... the only upside to an underdrive pulley would be that it is a one piece... Other than that any real performance gains cannot be obtain through such simple means
