we' will bust out a multi meter to test the output...

lemme rephrase my question..

will the speed of the pulley, rotating on the altenator, directly effect, the output of the altenator.. also? will i be able to charge my optima battery back to 12v?

Absolutely. Magnetic flux is totally determined by rotation rate.

That said, generally the raw output of an alternator is a 3-phase signal &gt; 14 volts which is then rectified and regulated to the proper voltage.

i have driven for nearly 3 years with an unorthodox ultra-r crank pulley that is about the size of a power steering pulley, voltage is low at idle but i have never had a problem with charging the battery....then again i do no have any kind of stereo...

And if you do remove it for those reasons, the replacement pulley should be dampened, like the pulleys made by Fluidampr.
