I have actually heard they are very bad, especially the crank pulley. The reason I say this because those aftermarket crank pulleys don't have something that the OEM ones do, a harmonic balancer. The aftermarketlack that, which causes the crank to be unbalanced and screw up the crank, which then screws up the motor. I would suggest not to install those pulleys, especially the crank pulley.

if I were you i would buy a lightweight flywheel instead, your stock crank pully has a rubber piece in it called a harmonic balencer that dampens vibration on your crank. Underdrive pullys destroy main bearings and for the HP gain its not even worth it

The only crank i suggest if you do have a B series, is the OEM CTR lightweight crank pulley, since CTRs came without power steering and A/C. It only has one row of pulleys which powers the alternator.

I've heard many stories not to use it and some to use it. There are multiple threads out there on the CTR crank pulley. Check it out.
