If it's a daily driver, it's not worth the money. The ATI pulley's moment of inertia will not be much of a change from that of your stock pulley. I'm not saying it won't help, but you aren't getting much for your money.

Also, I don't think they (or Fluidampr) sell d16 dampers. It'll have to be a custom model.

u can get machine work on a crank to lighten it but i wouldnt play around with yuor damper
on a turbo motor with decent power you can realy do damage with those crapy pulleys replacing a damper the only brank i would trust is ati, fluidampr, and oem honda
if you want to free some mass get a flywheel

Keep your OEM unit intact. It's not worth messing with it or replacing it for a minuscule drop in mass.
