Taken from Overboost.com:
"Good for several horsepower on otherwise stock Hondas, these pulleys reduce power steering pump and alternator shaft speeds and freeing up power to the drive wheels. As a side benefit, your engine will also rotate more freely and rev more eagerly for a more satisfying driving experience."

A little more information from the Unorthodix Racing site:
These gains are obtained in two ways. First, and most important, is the weight loss. An average of 2.7 HP is gained from every pound lost off the crank shaft. 85% of our gains are from weight loss.
The rest of the gains are from underdriving, which accounts for about 15% of the total gains. We do not push underdriving for two main reasons. Our main reason is to keep charging systems, air conditioning, power steering, and water pumps moving fast enough for every day driving. Second, not much horsepower is gained from extreme underdriving. All of our underdriving is done with the crank pulley, not the accessory pulleys. This is done so maximum weight loss can be achieved at the crank where most of the horsepower gains are found.
