About pulleys!

First I did search and dont find anything
I was looking in www.custommaxima.com and in www.courtesyparts.com about the pulleys for my VG but Im confuced. are this pulleys a single one or a set for the alternator, Water Pump and Power Steering and Air Conditioning or just one for the crank?
because in courtesyparts are called Ultra S Lightened Underdrive Crank Pulley and in custommaxima UNDERDRIVE PULLEYS.

Re: About pulleys!

I had this pulley that you speak of made by Unorthodox Racing last year (maybe it's more than a year now, I forget).

Anyway, the stock pulley is 8.6lbs or something, the UR pulley they got down to 1.45lbs or something like that. It is slightly smaller in diameter so it is also an underdrive pulley, but it is super light so it decreases rotational mass on the crankshaft, so it frees up power. The slower rotation of the accessories (by decreasing crank pully size) also frees up a bit of power.

Because it doesn't ONLY underdrive to increase power, UR recently added "lightened" to the part name to emphasize that 85% of the power increase comes from weight reduction.
