I personally wouldn't buy a lightweight pulley other than Unorthodox Racing's pulley(s). The crank pulley I have is a precision piece of work, and its performance improvement is noticeable. Trouble-free after 4 1/2 years and 50k miles is a good testimony of its quality.

bomz are the cheaper priced-very plain, still great quality- in use by our super mod for big miles
and CL guys have been on them for years
found on ebay- message them if not listed with their others and they will send a private auction
last I knew they were 25-30 a few years ago
ask what belt they suggest- they might even sell it!!
different pulley makers use different edges on the thing, different belt makers have belts specific to that edge

underdrive pulley requires different belt length

I have a Bomz crank pulley. I put it on during my timing belt change. Got it for $50 on eBay, and works fine.

Unorthodox Racing pulleys are highly praised among all car forums. Never heard of a failure with them....

You get what you pay for.

UR CNC Machines all their pulleys and does quality control checks. All pulleys are 0 gram balanced.

If you want a stock diameter pulley in order to not underdrive the accessories, i.e stereo, get the UR stock diameter crank pulley.

If you want the underdrive get this one:
