underdrive pullies

i just put underdrive pullies on my car and now i got a really bad idle and it even died once at a stop sign could this be caused by the underdrive on the alternator and would a better battery and 140 amp alternator fix this?

What kind of underdrive pullies do you have?

I know some people use march performance pullies ect. From what i hear, most had problems with the battery/alt thing and it's exactly what you are expeirencing. The belts are turning too slow to keep the accessories powered up and your running from your battery. 2 things to do possibly, 1) my buddy just put the stock battery pully back on and had no problems. or 2) March has out a line of performance pully system that works to keep the accessories going at the right speed. Call them or check out the website.
