light-weight pulleys worth it?

When I had an eclipse, I had the owner of www.aspracing.com fabricate (CNC) an underdrive pulley at about 1/2 the cost of UR. All he needs is a stock pulley . . . anyone want to be the guinea pig?
I won't pursue it since my idle is a touch erratic, but I know this guys quality is equal or better to UR.

Unorthodox is the way to go for the VQ35...
We run them on our race cars, I run it on my street car...
We have seen gains from 6RWHP across the full RPM range up to 12RWHP...
Only the crank pulley makes power.. .the other 2 pulley's are for looks...

UR isn't a bad company and do have a history of performance. When I had the 3G eclipse, we had to seek another vendor since UR pulled their pulleys due to the SES light and would not rectify the situation . . .
On my Z, I chose UR and had no problems. If I had a stock pulley that I could part with for a few weeks, I would have sent it to aspracing for him to fabricate one.

I also can testify to the benefits of the UR Pulley set. Car revs noticably faster. My butt dyno put it above my Tanabe back end and mid pipe so I think it's a great bang for your buck mod.

If it was the turbo, then you wouldnt have noticed it... but if you did the pulley after the turbo... WOOOOT!
Putting on a tilton set up with the turbo it is like a completely different car all over again
Before my friend put his tilton on his Greddy TT 350z I felt my car pulled harder then his...
but with his tilton on there... wowzer!
