I'll help you out now...get the underdrive pullies but only install the crank pulley. It does help out with starting from a dead stop. That's where i found the most gain from, although i'm sure it helps all the way through. The only side effect i found was that shortely after the instal my A/C doesn't work for the first 1-2 street lights. It's kinda weird. When i am stopped the A/C doesn't work, but when i rev-up the engine or get moving it's fine. After a few stops it works like normal...
 
you will also need a shorter belt with 1 less rib. you can look through the archives for the exact length, i forget...

        I was thinking of getting a set of underdrive pullies for my V6, and am not
        sure which pullies I should get. Should I stick with just the crank pulley
        or what? Also, what kind of benefits are there to using underdrives? I've
        never used them before, but then I've always had a V8 before... I'm looking
        to squeeze as much as possible out of my little V6 and I figured that I'd at
        least ask the DML, since this is a great knowledgebase and all...
        
        If there are any of you out there using them, what kind did you get? What
        did they do for you? do you still have the p/n(s)??
        
        Thanks in advance!!!
