thanks I won't to get some more horsepower but I don't really won't to go into the motor (cam, heads). So I guess I'm looking for the best bang for the buck.

underdrive pulley replaces the crank pulley, and its smaller, so it spins the accessories (alt, ps, ac) slower, which reduces the parasitic loss on the engine.

they are not huge power mods...maybe 5-7hp...but they do seem to increase the throttle response and rev-up speed
