Why get it lightened, when you can buy a lightened. Check online stores and ebay

Yup that's an answer...why lighten your current crank, which means shaving parts off....when you can buy one made out of aluminum.

I knew a noob wouldn't see it without me explaining everything. But thanks that saved it for others that didn't pick up on it.

I don't think he's referring to the crankshaft pulley, like the ones you can buy from AEM, UR, ect. I think he was referring to the crankshaft itself, like getting it knife edged.

I don't know how good the service or work is, but I do believe F22Parts.com offers work for the crankshaft.

Yeah i was referring to the crankshaft itself. I was just wondering if anybody knew anyone with a good rep and/or decent prices.

I have heard the average is about 2.7 hp gain per lb lost. Does that sound right?

Take it to a good reputable local machine shop and they should be able to do it for you.
