Installed my March Underdrive Pulleys today

I installed my March Underdrive Power and Amp Series Pulleys today...the installation wasn't to bad at all....just a few bloody knuckles. They look really nice....I'll get pictures of them tomorrow. My car charges absolutely fantastic...and seemed to perform pretty good with the butt dyno. Still not sure if they are worth the $180.00. As I went on the highway...I got it up to about 90....and out of the corner of my eye....I saw a nice cop car...staring right at me....sooo...yeah..you guessed it....I got pulled over..clocked me at 83 mph in a 55.... ...I've never been stopped before!...and these pullies will end up costing me about $450!!....cause the ticket will be $250...and 6 months probation...

That's cool can't wait to see some pics?

Are you serious you have never been pulled over before? How old are you. Because I know if you in your 1st year of driving then it's 6 months probation but it doesn't mean anything (I was on it). I just got put on 6 months probation again because of a 2 BS tickets that I didn't even due, and this time im not allowed passangers. So that's how that goes. But since it's your first time being pulled over just ask the magistrate for no points but the fine and they will 9 time out of 10 give it to you.

What Highway, cause in anderson I was able to pay a donation of $150.00 towards the police fund and it got me out or about $500.00 in fines. The donations go directly to the city not taxed like the fines whitch the states sees most of. Worth a Try. Plus with a donation there will be no points On your licensesn

I'm 21 years old....

Withtout a doubt, it will be reckless driving...and that will be $250....and 6 months probation. My uncle passed a dude in a no passing zone and got the same deal, $250 fine and 6 months probation. But yeah, that was my first time pulled over...and it sucked. I've never heard of that donation thing before...that sounds to go to be true...

No worries, man. Atleast you didnt go to jail. Here in the state of Virginia anything over 90mph they have the right to haul you to jail right then and there. I know I lived it. Back in my younger days I got a 102 in a 55. Lets just say I was stupid!. . Now I go to the track

But like I said atleast they didnt handcuff you and chain you to the police station floor. Look for the postivie in any bad sistuation.

No charging problems at idle? I had a set of those on car that were not the power amp series and had to take them off because they would run down the battery. Turn on your fan, sterero and lights does it still have at least 12 volts at idle?

Stupid hurts!

Pay the ticket, and slow down. There is no reason to go 90mph.

The power and amp series WILL NOT make your car do that....that's why I got the Power and Amp Series....they work fantastic..I had everything on...and at idle, I'm at at about 13

I never speed...that's the thing. I've never been pulled over or anything...I was just seeing if the pullies made a difference at higher RPMS....
