I don't know what you mean about the grooves but a set of underdrives (larger pulleys to run the accessories slower) will free up some HP you already have. All things being equal you'll probably see a few extra ponies to the rear wheels.

they do not ADD any horsepower or torque. they slow down belt driven accessories such as alternator, water pump, oil pump, etc. it is estimated that it FREES UP anywhere from 8-15 hp, but that is because power normally wasted on your accessories is now able to go to the wheels instead. and what do you mean by without grooves?

Your not goanna gain HP but the pullies are sized so that the strain that your normal pulleys put on the engine isnt as drastic leading to a more efficient running engine

i have steeda udp's and i it made a little difference nothing extreme but they didnt affect any output but they will affect output if you have aftemarket stereos, subs, amps etc..
What if you change the pulleys but not the alt pulley.Will the alt be ok or it does not matter.How much do you loose from the alt when after market pulleys are put on.
