You free up a few horsepower by changing the pulley sizes that the things like AC, stereo, power windows etc etc run on....if you have a crazy stereo setup....bad idea...if you're going to supercharge...bad idea

I have em because I'm not going the route of forced induction, and I probably gained a few horses, but where I noticed it the most is better gas mileage...I romp on it all day and still make 23+mpg highway...before, I was getting probably 18/19+ highway

eventually, anything that improves gas mileage a little will pay itself back

i've heard horror stories of UDPs killing the alternator or battery on other cars, not stangs....and people with a big aftermarket stereo have some electrical issues...but for me, they worked out fine and were worth the $$$

you can get a higher capacity alternator to combat the electrical issues with a stereo system..

You'll be fine with nitrous, and your charging and a/c will be just fine as well..
