I'll copy and paste my answer from Ontario Cobalt Club .com
"Under Drive pulleys will decrease the amount of stress your motor is under by reducing the pulley size and weight so the motor doesn't have to work as hard. However with under drive reduction you also loose a certain amount of voltage in your system.
This is the kind of mod that doesn't add power but rather it allows the motor to put more of the power it's making already to the ground.
A side effect though is usually the inability to run any high powered electronics such as amps and subs because the car isn't pumping out as much juice from the Alternator.
It's a racer's mod only. "

a real under-drive pulley set up actually comes with the right pulley for the altenator so it doesnt have that drop in voltage. this bein a one pulley setup means you'll have that drop in voltage but it wont be that big of a drop thou. small amps and subs can run just fine while usin this. its when you start to get into the high wattage stuff that you'll have to worry bout it.
