IMHO pulleys are just a waste of money. If you want to reduce the rotational weight of this engine you have something at the other end of the crank shaft that weight close to 30 pounds. I'd keep OEM the crank pulley if it was me but I'm not an engineer.

I have the gruven crank pulley and for like the 1st 5 minutes it felt awesome.. lol
so thats just my head thinking it made a difference.. lol
when I put my new clutch in with the FST light weight flywheel, now theres a weight reduction that made a difference...
I think if your going to go lightweight you need to do them all... IMO..
I dont think lightweight pulleys are as much of a problem as an underdrive pulley...N.E.R.D.

I want a big bore as well.. I also have the EVO CAI.. This is freaking weird!
They do have a 4.5bar FPR @ BFI.. lol I was gonna try that, but figured over 4bar and not FI might just not be worth it...N.E.R.D.

You guys that drive with these lightweight crank pulley, how much are you revving the engine?

Depends on my mood..
My tune allows me to get to about 7200, I usually dont got much past 6300.. I know thats an odd number but I try to get into the next gear right before it gets into the red...
so figure around 6-6300 most of the time and hear or there I keep going past, but not all that often..N.E.R.D.
