Basically a lightened crank pulley will give less drag on your pulley system and free up lost horsepower.
The OEM crank on our cars weigh in close to 10 lbs!
The ultra S crank pulley from Unorthodox weighs almost 1.5 lbs.
So basically you are looking at freed up horsepower throughout the entire power band and your engine will rev a LOT faster than before. Try it out, I think it's a 10 hp gain which isn't too shabby for our cars.

It's not annoying, you just need the RIGHT tools to do it.

As GreenMachine said it is a lightened crank pulley (about 1 lb) and it helps the car rev out quicker. You will notice a difference. It's a good mod.
It isn't difficult to do if you have the right tools.

Then hopefully the following week i can have the UR crank pulley, comptech ice box, XS headers and NRG torque damper all installed at the same time and then after a couple days re dyno and see how much the package gained me.

Engine dampers (in theory at least) don't necessarily free up lost power, but they can help retain power by transferring more of your engine's power to the ground. At least that's what I've read in the Temple of V-Tech forums.
^ I see. Makes sense.
BTW 2Clean I like your location --> Loovull. My girl went to grad school at UL and gets pissed when poeple say louie-ville. She grew up in Sturgis, KY.

Harmonic dampener? yes, which is a thin piece of rubber on the back part of the pulley, it slightly reduces vibrations at certain rpms. Mine seemed to had rotted off I guess somewhere before I had 62k miles on the car, because when I got my pulley installed it wasn't there!
You will be fine, there have been 0 problems with people running these pulleys and there are quite a few on acurazine. As long as you don't drop the pulley or mess up installation you'll be fine.
