Basically your oil pump will self destruct sooner or later. If you're willing to gamble with it for a few extra hp, then leave the lightweight crank pulley on there. If they're under drive pullies then your alternator basically won't charge your battery at idle and your lights will probably dim out.

Seems like a lot of sacrifice for not a lot of performance.

light crank pulleys don't dampen the vibrations like they should and bearings go to ---- fast, but hey they do add 1.5 horsepower

My thoughts are that you should have waited until you actually did something, rather than wasting my time.'


But then again, you have a wicket sweet 2.5" cat delete. Holy ---- dud, that's some sick ----
