Underdrive Pulley's Question


on a hot summer day in bumper to bumper traffic with the AC full blast, and my Mach 1000 cranked am i going to have issues?

is the waterpump going to turning enough at idle, how about the alternator with all accessories running wide open at idle?

I'm going to get 4.10s so driving down the road I figure my engine will be turning enough make up the difference...

are pulleys worth it for a day to day commuter, who just wants to raise hell doing it?

I have ran underdrive pulleys on my car since I have owned it...Which is over a year and I have never had an issue with anything...It is definately a nice mod and works great...

Stay away from the piggyback style under-drive pulleys though...I went with Steeda and love them...
