Just curious if any body had put an underdrive pulley on there car, and how much of a difference it made, or how much HP you gained,, thanks.

The difference also depends on the engine. On the 5S... an UD pulley isn't gonna be as helpful as it would to a 7A. This has a lot to do with how the underdrive works, where in the powerband it benefits, and the type of engine. The 5S being the big stroker... will feel much less gains from mods that reduce crank load (UD pulley, light flywheel)... because it has a big stroke versus a short rod. The 7A too has a fairly big stroke for its rod length, but not quite to the degree of the 5S.
