DH-Racing crank pulley...whats the word?

So to those of you that have put it on your car, any strange sounds or mechanical problems yet? Still glad you spent the money you did on the performance gains? Just curious... found mine in the closet the other day and just wanted to hear what people still had to say about it. Give me some opinions... im thinking what the heck, why not... if it comes to it i can find a cheap engine in the junk yard.

a cheap engine in the junk yard i snt worth the trouble over this pulley. i think only 2 people were able to put it on but then later ran into problems. i myself have put the Unorthodox Racing crank pulley on. the car has been running fine every since. I would not waste my time.

the last guy who tried gained 1whp on the dyno but his battery light came on so had to force the pulley back off again.

Just stay away from pulleys. Mine has been in my trunk as a reminder of a stupid purchase.

Its good to replace the oem pulley when you do the timing belt. The rubber inside gets worn after a while.

There was some other pulley brand a while ago. A few people had it and said it was good. I can't remember what brand it was. But they never responded to my emails so I said forget them.

First of all, OEM pully has a harmonic dampener witch takes out vibration, and second of all, the Unorthodox pulley is so friggen expensive, it's rediculous, and no dyno numbers from them to back it up.
