nothing big but butt dyno approved
the old pulley weight was 3.4-3.5 lbs and the new is 0.4-0.5 so its about a 3lbs reduction. but a VERY strategic 3 lbs reduction
Which pulley?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
