Default Overdrive pulleys

Dont do it. Your alternator can get burnt out and your lights will dim at idle

I trust no after market pulley's except for the Fluidamper.

Aftermarket pullies are garbage!

i disagree, you will get a significant difference on an H-series thats for sure, and how does an alternator blow out from driving slower than normal, the headlights may be dim though, that is correct.

make sure to call them underdrive pulleys from now on though.

Fluidampr's pulleys are filled with liquid and balanced with the engines harmonic balancer.

He's talking about the alternator and power steering pulleys not the crank pulley. But in a perfect setup the ECU should turn off the alternator and power steering really doesn't pull any power in a straight line anyway. I'd do the Power steering anyway as it might tighten the response. I'm partial to not having power steering at all though unless on bigger cars.
