I run the ASP pulleys on my RT. They are a crank and alt. pulley
set. My volt meter read 14 volts before the pulleys, and reads
about 12 volts after the pulleys (at idle)... anything above about 1200
rpm and the meter reads 14 volts.
After running at idle (with the lights on) for about 10 minutes, I tried
to turn on all power sources at once... heater blower, radio, driving
lights, hazards, rolled up both windows at the same time, plus held
them against the top for about 5 seconds. No dimming of the head lights
or dash gauges.... No noticable increase in operating temps either...
yet we aren't quite to summer yet. I still run the stock 195 t stat, but
will
drop down to the 180 t stat in the near future.
My mileage is up about 1 mpg on average, and my 1/4 mi times are down
to a 14.889 (55 F), 15.189 (64 F but with no traction).... Well worth the
RT registry group purchase price...
