Personally, I would not run underdrives on a street RX-7. They slow down the turning speed, and that is bad IMO for a engine that needs as strong a flow of coolant as a rex does. Also, a alt pulley is no good cuz the stock electric system blows anyway. Just my $0.02.

Re: underdrive pulley and electric fan
The combination of an underdriven alternator and an electric fan will see you on the side of the road with a flat battery before you know what's happened.
Street driven cars don't have a problem with water pump cavitation because they don't spend enough time at constant high rpm.
Underdrive pulleys are just a waste of time on a street car. The gains are negligible, the downsides aren't...

I have a main underdrive pully and a perma-cool finger chopper. I have not had any troubles with electrical loads and no cooling issues. According to the crappy stock guage it actualy runs a little cooler now. I had the alt pully on too, but it kinda drained when you put the lights on. Now, my car is only driven 4-5k miles a year, and never in rain or snow, and never in traffic. So a daily driven car may not react the way mine did. But if you have a "toy" like me, and you want every drop of power; go for it.
