A month or so ago Hot Rod magazine was doing some sort of engine build up, Dyno testing, article & the under-drive pulleys didn't yield any gain. They admitted they usually don't gain much, but were surprised at getting zip. They seemed to feel that on a street car they were a waste of $$. I'm sure you will get more & better feedback.

ASP underdrive pulley is the only one I know about. You may gain about 5-10hp and you change out the one large belt for two small ones.

When I had my head/cam installed the tuner said their Dyno tests showed very little gain from underdrives. I skipped them as not worth it.
