In theory...sounds like good physics...less mass...manipulating the diameters to "gear" things differently...

Sounds good to me...ANYbody here use THEM ???

I dont have a bonne with the UD Pulley but i put one on my GTP and yeah its worth it. Adds between 5-8hp on the 3.4dohc. Very easy and cheap mod to do so if you find one to fit on your bonne id go for it you wont regret it.
