Extra Pulley?!

Im at 107k miles and about to do my A14 service this or next week and I remember a while ago when I first got my 05' that a few of you had done an extra pulley for a bit more power. I though I would look into it when I was in there doing the timing belt/water pump, but now that im about to do the service, and I can't find the threads about the extra performance pulley.
Any one remember anything about this? Any help would be great

Thumbs up

UR Crank Pulley, either u can get the stock size and use oem belts or go smaller & lighter one, but u will need smaller belt.
The both increase aceleration i had smaller one in my TL and i loved it. Now I have the stock size in my RL and it makes a difference cuz the RL is so heavy.
The Stock Crank Pulley weights over 7lbs. and the UR weights less the 2lbs, The smaller UR weights even less.
Less Weight = More Power.

Smaller pulley = underdriven charging system = more strain on your alternator

At least I think that's how it goes.

In the next 25,000 miles I am due for a timing belt. It would be the best time to put it on.

The website is UnOrthodox Racing. The RL stock size pulley is $346.
