Pulleys do not provide "gains". They are new pulleys that underdrive the accessories (alt, PS pump) and if you have a crankshaft pulley, it underdrives everything.

Theoretically, undriving accessories reduces wear on them. It does take less of the engine power to spin your accessories, so you free up maybe a horsepower? Save up for an intake, headers, an exhaust- Something you'll actually notice... Especially with an Autotragic.

Buy a trans cooler. Good insurance against the extra strain of power adders.
