Default Pulley modifcation, whats the REAL amount of hp gained?

Decided my next mod is to be a pulley set from MAC,but of course need time to save up so i figure id ask some questions about it. Does it really give a good 10-12 hp gain and will i notice this in addition to my mods already done?(see sig for mods).And it does say i can do this myself with a basic socket set and it seems i will need a jack, both of which i have on hand. now b4 i start an uprising like i did before i just wanna know if its true i can do this myself. Thank you.

Very simple to do yourself, the only pulley that may give you a run for your money is the alternator pulley, but you can usually remove it with an impact air gun...

Pulleys do give a noticable power increase on our cars, but not on all cars for some reason.. You will feel a difference in a 5.0

its not realy giving you any more hp, its just freeing up hp that is used to run the accesorys and letting you get more power to the rear tires. i dont belive that they free up 10-15 hp like they say, but still an noticable differance
