Your vehicle will accelerate a lot faster. When in neutral and you rev, it'll rev faster than the stock pulley.

The engine "works less" to turn the pulley because it weighs less. The 'power' saved can be utilized elsewhere, like at your wheels. :]

I had a UDP/light weight pulley on my ACR. I never felt a thing.

I highlydoubt you'll need a tune for the pulley either.

id be careful with crank pulleys. no one offers a balanced crank pulley for the wrx that i know of, but i havent heard of too many problems with the Perrin pulleys either.
