they claim '9whp'.. but i don't really buy it. probably closer to 5 ish. it's not hard to install, especially if you have someone who's done it before. I've never done it before, so it took me about an hour.. couldn't figure out why the car wasn't starting and it was because i forgot to put a piece back in (thanks to kenny for helping me figure it out)
dont get me wrong im not trying to **** u off :P
, but think of it, the biggest gain for this car is the mid pipe, and that gives ya no more than 10 hp. 
I mean I will do pulley someday too, but Im not looking to under drive anything. so if anybody ask me what pulley will I get in the future, I will get Greddy. Yeah I know it doesnt under drive anything it just a better looking than stock pulley. but hey I mean most of us spend thousand and thousands of dollars just to do what? to make it look good !!!!

The parasitic loss that aftermarket pulleys aim at fixing by reducing the rotating mass is negligible nowadays.
You will have a slightly better throttle response at idle, quicker rev, and possibly a smoother idle. But in terms of power it won't be the best.. 3-4 is where I'd reckon it at if you're doing underdriven.
Oh but it looks damn sexy in the engine bay if that's your thang

OK I'm getting the pulleys now....
Someone better help me install it!!!!
I got about another 1k to spend after my recent COBB, HKS single side and AP midpipe purchase.
I'm looking at some TEIN S. Springs for a nice drop(for NYC streets anyway), some front and rear sway bars(maybe a combo deal when fluid gets back to me) , the GTSPEC radiator panel along with the Titek CF air-duct (I'm gonna chop my bumper for some sweet cold air into the engine bay) and the pulleys as mentioned above!
That you guys think?

I think there's an RB package of springs and sways for like 500.

I'm sure Tein's are good, but RB isn't half bad either.

The AP does make the revs run up faster, but it's not a big deal. More responsive is more like it, since it's lighter (less inertia to overcome) and underdriven (again, less inertia to overcome).
*edit* Juan, the RB springs offer less drop than the Tiens (both the S and the H, but I only ever seen people use the S). That might or might not be the reason why you want aftermarket springs, but I know I'd prefer the RBs myself (I am going to get that entire set sometime) because of the road conditions around me.

I'm currently running stock springs.
The only reason i want the teins is because tomcats8 got them and i liked the drop he has cause its not 2 low -- If the RB springs are even less of a drop then im going with them rather get a combo deal and have all the same namebranding
gh8st if i find someone to buy my current hood then ill get yours. You coming this Thursday?
TOMCATS8 -- You took out the silencers? cause you not spitting fire if you didn't.

yeah i'll be there thursday. Still waiting to hear back from the1ndonlii about the hood.. he was looking at it, but we'll have to see. Why don't you just get your hood refinished? how much would that run you?

If you sell it ill just sell this one and put my stockie back on or buy another hood from someone else.
EDIT:
