[QUOTE="MikeyB, post: 4052556, member: 562290"] I see where you train of thought is coming from, since the belt is actually pushing off of the crank pulley and pushing the alternator pulley around. This is actually a very tricky topic to discuss. But again, imo if you were to take anything with a big pulley and small pulley, and decreased the size of one of the pulleys, the belt, or chain, or whatever the driving mechanism might be, would have to be decreased also, to keep the same ratio throughout the system. Its like saying when you put a smaller pulley on your stock alternator you can use the stock belt. Which is incorrect. I could easily argue it both ways. Because if you think about it, the alternator pulley with spin at the exact moment that the crank will spin, when started. I dunno I dont want to think about this anymore, Ill let someone else that has proof to argue it. Either way, when I put my Iraggi on I will be looking into getting a smaller belt, whether it helps with power or not, it will definately eliminate any possible slippage. [/QUOTE]
