The smaller pulley simply reduces parasitic losses from your P/S pump, A/C compressor water pump and alternator so power gains occur at every RPM.

The ultralight battery is 15lbs. Stock was about 45lbs so a 30lb weight savings. Reducing weight in your car is the most effective "mod" you can do to improve performance. Better acceleration, stopping power, higher g forces, quicker transitions, and faster lap times. 100lbs weight savings is like adding about 50HP. (but they will never tell you that at the ebay afterrmarket goodies store).
Here is a link for the pulley:
