If I was only going to do one pulley it would be water pump. Make sure the cooling system is good obviously but it is very overdesigned by OEM. I imagine the PS load is more determined by the back pressure regulating valve in the line, meaning under driving it does not help. Pumps at constant rpm and varying pressure, or pumps at reduced rpm and reduced pressure/flow have well established relationships for calculating power requirements
