What? A crankshaft UNDERDRIVE pulley is an underdrive pulley, it just goes on the crank.

What you may be referring to, and I could be wrong, is the individual sale of the pulley versus buying it in a pulley kit which includes a few pulleys

An under drive pulley set includes the crank pulley. Most kits are piggyback design.

A under drive crank pulley has the fluid dampener built into it, and is the "safer" way to do it. However both ways will work.

I thought he was asking about Going with oversized Crankshaft pulley instead of smaller blower pulley this morning when I read this post.... Which i was interested in the answer!!!

is it you can still run a bigger blower pulley but get more boost?

Im worried that i wont be happy with the 3.2" pulley on my D1sc.. But I don't have the cash for a 8rib setup, would I then just buy a overdrive crankpulley?

Thanks! Sorry for stealing his thread, but his question wasn't really clarified.....
