underdrive pulleys, how do you like/hate them?

i have the ford motorsport street pulleys and they didn't do too great at first as far as streetability. My car battery wouldn't get a great charge at night especially in traffic and sometimes in the morning i would have to jump it off. I live in Louisiana and we have hot summers and winters and in traffic on 95+ days my cooling would suffer. I maded two modifications to rid these problems. First i added a 130 amp altenator and then a Black Magic Fan. See my cooling problem was only at idle, so i figured if i got an electric fan that ran wide open at idle i wouldn't have the problem any more and i was right. no more overheating. But pulleys are a great modification, dollar for dollar you can't beat them, but you need to realize with pulleys you are giving something to get something and as long as you keep that in mind you will be alright. good luck
