March UR pullies....Worth IT?

I have been debating wether or not to get these for my truck. I was just wanting some feedback from anyone who has them or anytype of UR pullies, are they worth the money? They say that they produce 15 hp at the wheels and so for around $150 bucks that sounded like it was a good deal. What do yall think? Thank you in advance for all replys.

there not worth it, and do nothing for the 4.9 or 5.8, so I assume the 5.0 also from experience. The pulleys also kill batteries

They dont make any sense on a truck. They are ok on high revving mustangs. They can drain youre battery, as well as create heat issues.

They work exactly as they are described, and very well at that! The only thing about underdrive pulleys to consider, is the accessories that they are driving. If you bump up your alternator, as well as your waterpump, then you will never know the difference. As a stand-alone upgrade, you may notice problems with battery charging and/or cooling, IF either of those are close to maxed out.
