Yes. There are billet aluminum pulleys available from Rick's. They are not underdriven, just lighter.

They reduce rotating mass by about 1 pound, which will improve performance some amount. However, the increase in performance would be way too small to feel, considering a lightweight flywheel can reduce rotating mass by about 8 pounds, and they aren't all that noticeable.

I have a set on my S, and I don't think they amount to much as far as power, I didn't feel anything, but the engine response is slightly better. Overall I'm happy with them, I also plan to put in a Toda flywheel (8 lbs)......

Considering the Toda flywheel saves 8 lbs and costs $450 (plus install), and the pulleys save about 1 lbs and cost $250, I think the pulleys are not worth it.

But I would definitley agree the "bang for the buck" is effectively nonexistant for these....

Flywheels are less, until you consider the $800 labor charge...Pulleys can be done in a driveway in 20 min.

One of my pulleys committed suicide, but the new ones are of a different design and should be bulletproof.
