Help..Should I.....Help

Hey guys,
Well i have had a march underdrive pulley set for my car for about a month now, i havnt taken it to the track yet to see any difference but my idle plan out sucks and no matter what i do, my alternator belt will still squeek at times and just pisses me off. I cant do anything to stop it and it just does it at random times!! My car wants to die at stopligths, and i know the idle is controlled by the ECM, What if i were to remove to pulleys? Anyone reccomend this? What about just taking of the alternator pulley, OR what should i purchase with the 100$ when i sell them?
Aj
Thanks

From the response ive read on this board...underdrive pulley's are a waste of time and money...seems they cause more problems than HP. The alternator pulley for sure causes problems, under charging and such....Id get rid of it..just my .02

I'd put the $100 towards some headers.
