Underdrive pullies are a good mod because they add hp and torque throughout the rev range.
Timing is just when the spark plug fires relative to the piston being at top dead center in the cylinder. Advanced means that the plug fires before TDC (on the upstroke) and retarded means that it fires after TDC (on the downstroke).
I wouldn't recommend installing gears for a novice. Depending on where you live the labor could run anywhere from $150-$400 for install.
