The unorthodox ones require switching to serpentine don't they?
Anyways, I'm running the Racing Beat main underdrive pulley and the hIGGI rotor shaped dual alternator pulley for FD alts in FC's and I love them both. The hIGGI one isn't underdriven, though, only RB.
Also, the Racing Beat ones are under the "cooling system" section IIRC.
And there are a couple more companies that make pulleys, just search.

I want the rotor shaped alternator, is there any that is under driven? Also I have no airpump, so do i need a dual alterntor pulley? Are the fc and fd alternator pulleys interchangable?

FC alternator has a smaller shaft than the FD.
There are no underdrive Rotor shaped pulleys that I know of on the market.
It is recommended that you use dual belt pullies when you remove the air pump because there is less gripping force on the water pump pulley and it causes slippage hurting cooling system performance.

You don't need a dual alt pulley if you have no airpump, you CAN use a "yoohoo" belt. Search for it.
The FD uses surpentine belts, FC doesn't, they are not interchangeable in stock form. If you switch to surpentine setup (expensive) you can put in the FD alternator with stock pulley on it no problem.

take note to what dDub said
If you get an FD alt you need a pulley shafter for an FD shaft and belted for an FC(v-belts not serpentine)
For a dual belt pulley/alternator kit contact Silverrotor(Tony) He's a great guy and sells kits for a decent price.

a little interjection...i believe the serpentine kits use 6 rib belt pullies, and the stock FD use 5 rib belt pullies...not that important, just that you'd have to use the 5 rib to match the stock FD pulley. btw, the stock FD pulley does look like it is slightly smaller than the pulley that comes with an FC serpentine kit. this is in relation to the serpentine pullies that Atkins sells.

They come with a dual pulley that is already for an FC. Its got the right shaft size for the FD alt and it is a V-belt type. So basically all you do is solder two wires(for S4 guys) or plug it in and tighten the tentioner bolts!
Its a snap i tell ya!

is buying pulleys worth it? do you guys really notice a difference? and are you still running all the accessories? im just curious i cant imagine that it would make a huge difference but i definitely dont know what im talking about.

Yes, but not as much as you would with an alternator underdrive pulley too.
I run the FD alt and main RB underdrive pulley and charging is still perfectly fine.

I laugh on how they all say like +30hp then.. Not that I was even expecting 5 btw.
For looks I was wondering if it was possible to convert to one of those nice assed cogged serpentine pullys, like with the belts an inch to an inch and a half thick, that would be badass, like on the 20B engine..
