Ronky,
The pulleys you are asking about are called "underdrive pulleys". The
performance gains you would see will show up beacuse they "underdrive" the
waterpump and the alternator therefore creating less drag on the motor. I have
them on my car and I can tell you that you will need to increase your idle speed
to 950 RPM's to get a full charge and if you have an upgraded stereo (subwoofer,
etc.) you will need to keep the stock alternator pulley to help the car from
stalling out at idle. In regards to horsepower improvement, I would say that you
could expect 7-15 rear wheel horsepower from the pulleys and about 2 tenths off
your quater mile times. Remember that when some companies advertise what might
sound like crazy horsepower improvements like up to 30 horsepower from pulleys
that they are probably refering to flywheel horsepower and not rear wheel
horsepower (there is a huge difference between the two).
Good luck,
Chris
