Default NST suggestions

i'd like to change out my pullys but im not quite sure what combination to go with. id like to get the most hp gain, but also have a well running alternator for my future stereo. from what i've seen NST is the way to be. any suggestions on the combination? also what are the consequences of speeding up and slowing down the accessories and crank?

i would go with the 3 piece setup. get the underdrive crank, lightweight water pump, and overdrive alt. pulley. u get the most gains, and response from that. and if anything, u can always contact a NST rep on aim. there sn is NSTonAIM. they can answer any question u throw at them. they been doing this for years...

i bought all three nst pulleys and installed them about two months ago. it was the most difficult install i have done yet, but i am a beginner.

the pulleys are definitely worth the money though. the added hp won't blow you away, but it will still be a noticeable difference. i can't stress this enough though, make sure you have the right tools (i.e. air tools). i tried doing it by hand and it took me about 10 hours (that's with trips to sears and advance auto parts), and a couple of my friends helping out. good luck!
