This has been argued may times before.. AEM is a big expert company that make many products and they refuse to make one..

The crank pulley is balanced from the factory and I have heard that changing to a lightened one causes problems with the bearings and the oil pump.. I have also heard people on here that use them and never have a problem..

I would just get the AEM underdrive pullies and leave it at that..

 

Yea I have heard the same. Stick to the AEM underdrive pulley kit if anything. I have them and I didn't really notice a difference with the pulleys on but once you start making more power they might come into play alittle more. Good luck
