That's my concern too. I was thinking about the RS pulley mod or the serpentine
belt mod but have reservations about the idle speed charging rate.
Yesterday I did a small test to see what the stock 3 belt system does at idle.
See this thread:
https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...ing-rates.html
I read somewhere that the RS pulley mod puts out about 12.6-12.7v at idle.
I would assume the serpentine belt mod does the same. Doesn't look like
much reserve for accessory loads.

Since the crank pulley gets replaced, I think it's fair to assume that quite a few items need removal & reinstallation...

If we did this at your house would we start at 12PM or 12AM?

IIRC, we started replacing your plugs after midnight
, so why mess with success?

Wrapped up plug install (all 12) at about 5 am, slept for two hours, and then removed his SAI system. Epic wrenching weekend.
