Anyone here used this before? Expensive for what it is, but I wonder if it really does anything for the Z.

I have it on my car.... very nice built quality.... it is about 1 lb heavier than the stock pulley, but I think it is all worth it to dampen out the noises and the vibration on your crank!

Also the reason I am using it is because I rev my engine up to 8000-8200rpm...

cheers

Mike B put one on his Z, and he got it in an underdrive pulley size as well. That size is not typically offered on the internet sales, so call them up and make the arrangement direct, if you want the underdrive feature.

It would seem that this would only be worth it in a few instances. For example, as mentioned before, revving to high rpms. I would also think that in the case of a supercharger it may be useful also due to the extra vibrations on the crank. More of a safety mod than a performance mod obviously but if you are looking for reliability I would say this is worth every penny!

Definitely so. Its primary purpose is to dampen the torsional vibration on the crankshaft, and that is going to be a issue with very high horsepower forced induction "hammer blows" to the crank. But theoretically this should work to reduce the stress caused by torsional vibration and enhance smooth running as well as reliability and longevity of the parts.
