You ordered them without asking questions?
yes they will free up a little something. Not much but it will help.
It states on the link the answer to your question.

No these will not add HP, just like the 600HP stickers!
But they will let the engine spool up faster, by reducing the drag from your belt driven accessories

Jegs stickers are more cost effective.

Yes it will reduce your 1/4 mile and 0-60 by about 0.2 seconds. And you might want to shop around. I bought a set that was black from ebay for less than $100. I think the pulleys were made by cat engineering.

Underdrive pulleys help a little for sure. It makes it easier for the engine to turn the accessories because of the gearing change. It's like changing gears on a 10 speed. It is easier to turn the crank, resulting in less parasitic loss to accessories and more energy to turn the flywheel. Every little bit helps, and that is just what this is... a little bit.

Magazine articles, tv shows, forum members, websites, from people that actually have used them and myself when I installed mine on my 84 vette.
I don't make false claims of a stock LT-1 going 12's.
like you.

Really? So no first hand experience huh? As usual, you don't know WTF you're talking about. Making fantasy claims as fact.
I mean, you CLAIM you have them on a car that I doubt you actually own....but we all
know you've never tracked it or dyno'ed it. So....
Where did I claim stock
LT1 (sic) going 12's? Please post where I said that.
BTW, I HAVE run UD pullies on some of my cars. And I HAVE tracked them.

Easiest way to get lots of power is to redirect radiator fan flow to your throttle. It will work like a supercharger!

Are there any problems running the A/C or draining the battery? Can it be used on a daily driver with no problems?

You battery will read a little less than normal when at a stop light, I think mine reads 14.3 on the highway and when I stop it will read 13.9 not a big deal, and yes you can use them on a daily driver. Alot of people run them with no problems.
