underdrive pulleys

I got my underdrive pulleys on but my voltage goes low almost to a stall at the light, what can I do to improve the voltage at idle with this setup?
I have the stock alt and new batt.

Re: underdrive pulleys

a higher amp alternator would probably help or get a smaller alt pulley

Re: underdrive pulleys

They make a power and amp series, I had the other one and was having voltage problems too, switched to the power and amp set-up and it charges fine now

Summit # for power and amp set I now have, MCH-4410



Summit # for the set used to have, MCH-4010

Re: underdrive pulleys

You could always just go back to the original pulleys. I used to have the March underdrive set up but went back to the originals. Can't say I really noticed any difference.
