They claim 15-20hp with the pulleys. Most people don't use the underdrive pulley for the alternator because it slows it down and could case charging problems with a stock alternator.
If you have a stock 80amp alternator and a high-powered stereo system I wouldn't use the pulley for the alternator unless you bought a 130amp alternator, which would be another good idea to do anyway.
If you want power you can "feel" then I would say buy the exhaust you mentioned, underdrive pulleys, K&N air filter, 3:73 gears and advance the timing to 14 degrees.
All that stuff would knock almost a full second off your 1/4 time.
