Mine is probably a bit different because it's OD, so yes more heat because more powa because the blower turns faster :)

The only complaint I've heard about with the UD pulleys is that sometimes the alternator doesn't spin fast enough to charge the battery properly (25% UD is probably bad for that). That was years ago though so not sure if it's still an issue with the newer designs. Guess it also comes down to the type of driving you do, if you idle around in traffic all day than it's probably better to only use a 10% or 20% ud pulley etc.

It's hard to say. On my old VN V6 T5 I saw an improvement but then on our VS V6 auto no change at all with the same underdriven pulley setup.

The big question is will it upset my tune?
Or Is it just a add on?
