i'm sure they free up a little power. I put a set of march pullies on a '95 thunderbird SC a few years ago, improved throttle response a bit.

i put a set of larger pullys on my P/S pump once and it helped a bit for throttle response, but then she wouldn't turn the 33's i had on it unless i had it revved up....had to switch back to the other pully to keep the pump pumping fast enough

Your money would be better spent if you sent it to me. I'll at least use it for something useful like dyno testing a new part. Spending it on underdrive pullies is a waste. Removing the whole belt is only worth about 3-4 hp.
