i have an a stereo and amp. i bought march 1000 underdrives from PA Performance along with a 130amp alternator. i think it was approx $300 total. PA Performance installed the underdrive pulley on their alternator and covers it under their lifetime warranty which i thought was cool. i have had no charging or cooling problems with the uinderdrives and i sit in NYC traffic all day long. i also changed by baattery cables and starter cable with some 4 gauge ones as i didnt want any weak links in the charging system.

march also makes a "power and amp" pulley set in which in which they provide a different size alternator pulley in order to turn the alternator faster than with regular underdrives. this might be a good option if you dont want to buy an alternator. IMO, buy the alternator, i've had mine for years and its one of the best investments i have made. with your stereo and lights on, especially a/c, your probally losing power at idle.

some more suggestions:
drag radials or slicks for the track
rear control arms
take off as much weight as possible

i know your trying to save money but i'm a big fan of suspension and weight reduction. good luck!
