Pulley=underdrive crank pulley. This frees up some hp that is normally used to drive the accessories.
Stall=high stall torque convertor. A higher stall speed improves acceleration and raises shift extensions in an automatic.
ORY=off road y-pipe. Y-pipe with no catilytic convertors. They are technically illegal for on-road use, hence the name.

^ that pretty much sums it up, the pulley will make you engine work less an free up hp, the stall will let you launch at higher rmps if your an auto
