My UR claimed 1.6 pounds I think the stock weighed in at a FAT 6 pounds.Noticable difference with either as far as faster rev, not much on HP but I havent ran a dyno yet will soon
I always go to the same place to dyno so we will see if the gains are close but it was warm last time I ran a dyno and it will have a slight difference.

As I said before I sent and e-mail to CNR Billet inviting them to the forum. I'd like to give an update if I may.
Just a little over a hour ago the OWNER (Yes I said OWNER) of CNR contacted me on my cell phone. How many many times has the owner of UR contacted any of their customers to answer question regarding their product?
Talk about A+++ for customer service!!!
These guys have been making underdrive pulleys for some of the top teams in racing for years. They also do complete custom work at the customers request and do it at a lower cost than everyone else. And if all that ain't enough... They're local to us in the maryland/DC area.
After our phone conversation I know where my money is going for my 350Z pulleys set. OH! And another thing... For all those who think " You get what you pay for"... This time around you'd be WRONG not to mention VERY Surprised to know what you're really paying for. As for me... I'm supporting my local shop.

CNR: Coated = Yes (In almost any coating you can think of including hard coating)
CNR: Cost = Cheapest out of anyone else on the market so far. www.cnrbillet.com
CNR wins my vote!

4. Nissan 350Z Pulley Set $175.00
Now I'm guessing that #4 includes 1, 2 and 3 as a "combo". What is this magical "Stock size crank pully" that everybody is talking about? I shall refrase my question, with option #4 do I need to purchase some kind of belt, or will be OEM belts work with this?
Thank you,

As I understand it, the "stock size" crank pulleys (any vendor) are the same size as stock; therefore, they work with stock belts. The only performance gain is lighter weight and faster rev. Also, they look nice. They should have no downside.
The "underdrive" crank pulleys are slightly bigger (?) than stock, creating a 15-20% decrease in accessory load (load from A/C, Power Steering, Alternator). Less accessory load equals greater HP to the wheels, theoretically. Naturally, the underdrive pulleys offer lighter weight and faster rev, as well. And, they look nice. The *potential* downside is... reduced accessory function (e.g. A/C may be less cold, Alternator output may be reduced, etc.)
The pulley sets include a crank pulley (stock or underdrive) and matching accessory pulleys. The accessory pulleys offer no performance gain, but they look nice.
Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong about this.

zedated, thanks for the info. I was specifically asking about this "CNR" pulley. A couple of people here mentioned that they got the "stock size", but I can't find any mention of a stock size on their website.
