Default HELP?! Unorthodox Pulley question

HEY! just a quick question. I was reading somewhere and now I don't know where I had read the article. But, my questions was, if I were to buy the unorthodox pulley set for my z, would I have to buy a new alternator? (because the article was saying something about changing the alternator)

You need new alternator because the pulley turns the alternator so fast it will shoot lightning out the hood. Happened to a buddy of mine.

you only need belts if you purchase the underdrive set

there is also a stock diameter set that retains stock belt sizes
