It turns the acessories (alternator, waterpump, power steering) slower, which frees up more HP to tranmit to the rear wheels.

An ASP underdrive pulley is the same as an underdrive balancer. The balancer is integrated into the pulley.

Yes, balancer = pulley.

ASP, march, SLP, powerbond, fluidamper all make excellent underdrive pulleys

True, but I think of harmonic balancer. Our pulleys still have elastomer dampening material to absorb harmonics. Aftermarket pulleys will also have this.
