Just get a lightened stock diameter instead of underdrive. 90% of the performance with 10% of the potential headaches. Cheaper too.

i heard that a lightened pulley will affect the rotating mass of the engine and shorten its life!!!!!!!!

an underdrive pulley will be lighter than any lightened pulley. i have the stock diameter lightened crank pulley, had it on for about 10k miles, no problems at all yet, and i dont expect there to be.

Are they available? Yes. Would i use one? No.

I'd go for a lightened one as well because it doesn't have the downsides the underdrive pulleys have.
