Help needed on my C32 mods.

I would like to here from someone who has made the following mods as to how well they work, etc:

1.) Underdrive pulleys. Do you ever have overheating problems or failure
to keep the battery charged? NC has very hot summers.

2.) Systems that change your computer chip and pulleys to change the
boost.

3.) Do these mods blow your warranty?

1) It is an overdrive pulley for the C32, so with some pulley kits the alternator would be turning faster. Some kits have 4 pulleys to compensate for the increased crank pulley. I run my on a road coarse in 110 degree heat for 30 mins at a time with no overheating.

2) They work well, best to use 93 octane or above for max power.

3) It could blow your warranty if you brought the car back to the dealer with a connecting rod protruding from the block, or similar. It's a risk you take.
