Pulley Question
I have the oportunity to buy a set of BNIB Unorthodox racing pulleys for $200. The only thing is that they were originally bought for a 2000 TL-P. Will they fit my 2003 CL-S and is that a good price? Also, how much will installation run me?

Underdrive will free up more HP. But it slows down your accesories. Like your alternator, PS pump, and A/C. So if your running alot of audio power, I would stay with stock size pulley. As stated above.

What effect does this "slowing down" have (other than giving HP)? Will it make your A/C not work the same or your alternator not provide the same power ect.?

What he said, I've had mine on for about 7 months and noticed no adverse effect. My Sub amp can pull up to 114 amps, (Not that the stock CLS system will put out that kind of amprage, but the amp will pull it if its there) but I never play it that hard. So I don't have to worry about it. As far as the A/C, it still works fine. If you lived in Vegas and sat in traffic for long periods of time at idle in 120 degree heat you might notice.
Id say go for it!

I would use the lightweight standard size if you are running any kind of stereo or planing on it in the future. You alt will not keep up depending on the amps you are or planning on running. It will be to much current draw for the underdrive pullys.

If your going huge on a system, then I'd be worried. But if you staying moderate, I would not even worry about it. You can always add capacitors if its a concern. I'm running a JBL BP 1200.1 (No Lightwieght on amp draw) and its just fine.

if you're concerned, i'd just go with the stock size pulley, you'll still see some gains because it's lighter than stock

if your going to get a stock size, you should pick it up fast because they stopped making them, Excelerate is the only vendor that has em, i helped with a group buy to get UR to make one last batch for us
"The Ultra S crank pulley is a lightweight underdrive crank pulley. It underdrives the accessories 10-20% and requires new belts. The Ultra Sc crank pulley is a lightweight stock size crank pulley, which means that it does not underdrive the accessories and does not require a new belt. If you have a large stereo system (over 600 watts RMS) you will want the Ultra Sc crank pulley. If not, you will want the Ultra S pulley. Average gains are about 7-8 HP. The Ultra Sc will make maybe 1 less hp than the Ultra S pulley."

oh and if you plan to be supercharged you need the stock size
