Default under dive pulleys add how much power?

How much more horse power will I get if I install a set of pulleys with out the groves?

Wait, are you saying you want to install a set of pulleys without grooves? Why would you want to do that?

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?

+1 on the grooves question

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

Add on question?
If they slow down accessories does this affect your alternator output? Does it affect your stereo stuff?
