Its a theory that pulleys throw off the harmonic frequencies in the engine causing premature bearing wear, and for what about 1-2 hp! IMO not worth it but its up to you! Do a search there are many arguments on this subject!

Do some reseach on nonvtec setup; even check out nonvtec.com. You can find alot of good info on nonvtec setups if that is what you want!
