I just got finished installing my 10's and now with the U/Ds on, my needle bounces like hell. I am going to install a capacitor this week, but do you think I need to get some of the OEM pullies back on? Will that make the difference up that I need? By the way, it sounds goooooood.


Thanks,
Paul

I have already upgraded all these except for the alternator to distro/fuse box. I was thinking maybe I could find somebody that still had their OEM pullies and put those back on.
