no.

i had to use one for a while on my car due to my ignition set up (60-2 trigger wheel) the crank pulley ripped its self apart and went shooting down the track in 2 sepperate peices. those things are not good for anything really, other than sucking and trashing your motor.

Actually I have seen them wobble on the crank at higher rpms since they arent balanced with the rest of the rotating assembly so badly that it worked the crank bolt loose and the pulley damn near came off..

I have also seen a sportsmans class racer destroy an oil pump at the track using one of these pulleys..

And this was all in the same day at the track(MIR)..
