Why do you want the underdrive pulley? Its like a 2hp increase right? Just make a woosh noise with your mouth when you acclerate for the same effect.

But seriously, if the engine was designed without them, it means there was a reason. I4's tend to vibrate, and an underdrive will interfere with the balance shafts.

its overrated on a small motor, V8's are a different story. Long explanation short... dont do it. You will regret it.
