Default Pulleys?

How much is gained by underdrive pulleys?
I live in an urban area, with some stop and go traffic, bad idea for me?
I have the electic fans so i would be saving on waterpump and alt drag.
thoughts?

I think they might give you around 10rwhp if lucky. A new set going to cost you around 250 if you get the complete kit with Pulleys,belt, and new bolt. I never had a problem with my pulleys, but some of my friends had problems with there trucks not running enough amps. And there batteries kept dyin.
