Well, for one the UDP weighs less than the OEM and on just that fact alone it'll allow your car's engine to make power faster/less weight=less inertia=faster rotation.

It is worth the money because it also lessens the amount of wear and tear on the crank due to having to turn all that heavier weight on the OEM UDP.

Unless you know your way around an engine I would not recommend f'ing with the pulleys.

You sure you want one from Stealin? See if Unorthodox Racing has one.

What a bunch of BS. Remember, the OEM VQ pulley is a damper. I had a UR UDP on my VQ30. It made zilch power on the dyno and absolutely no improvement in the 1/4 over 40 1/4 mile passes. Save your money. Underdrive and lightweight pulleys are one of the biggest BS mods out there. Don't let the Unorthodox Racing UDP propaganda sway you. Those guys are full of BS.

I disagree as simple physics support UDPs. That's like saying weight reduction does nothing for performance.

I have one, and DO notice that the car revs and runs a bit easier since. Granted, it's only a 10% underdrive, but the decrease in rotating weight is nice.
