too bad i didnt get ere earlier. i will admit i did the same thing when installing my UDP's. Not to mention the udp have nothing to do with why you and me screwed up the install, but to fix it all you need to do is retap the crank bolt hole. ill admit that the reason is i didnt understand or read the directions before using the pulley puller, but oh well, its easily fixable. ive had my UDP's on for 12,000 miles, mach 1000, aftermarket head unit, glow gauges, radar, ipod plugged in..ect ect.. no problems, anyways, i know this is prob all totoal bs to begin with, so whatever

UPD does not affect alternator function. The reason is that the new pulley in the UDP kit supplied for the alternator actually speeds the alt back up to stock speed.

I dont think the UDP's had anything to do with the death of your car..

I think it was operator/installer error.

Steeda provides you w/ two bolts, one extra long to help pull the pulley onto the crank, the other is for torquing, the long bolt have a large sticker on it that says DO NOT TIGHTEN CRANK PULLEY WITH THIS BOLT, READ INSTRUCTIONS. Kinda sounds like people who mess up their crank threads use the long bolt
But i agree, timing is weird on our cars

Not on any I've seen and definately not on the steeda kit. The steeda kit I had came with a larger than stock alt, and water pump pulley, which slows them down.

Plus, (correct me if I'm wrong) the crank pulley, being smaller, slowed down the alternator (and other) pulleys.

The cammer motor is a rip-off, 15K is nuts. You could build a bad ass 2V for 10K and have 5K left for the blower.
