underdrive pulleys?

What's the best choice for my 05 auto 8?
I've seen a few but I don't want to make the wrong choice.

my favorite are the SuperNow pullies, though like 200 said, they are for pure show... some say they help with downshifting though.

basically get whatever colored ones you want. I like the supernow pullies because they are purple and shaped like a rotary.

I've got an Agency Power underdrive pulley. I've dyno'd with and without it, doesn't do jack.

Helps keep the water pump from cavitating at sustained high RPM and downshifting is a bit better but that's it.

Yeah I have the agency power pulley and imo i felt it was smoother maybe better response but nothing impressive.. If your bored and want something to do its cheap enough to spend some time on the car. Thats the only reason why I touched mine
