Default Pullies

http://www.rpmoutlet.com/newv8m.htm

I am thinking about buying the first set up with the plenum t/b and pullies but i had a few questions:

I thought that when you switch out pullies you put on the under drive pullies but these say
SFI Approved Under-drive Balancer Pulley
22% Over-drive Water Pump Pulley
8% Over-drive Alternator Pulley

and my friend is trying to tell me that when you switch out to new pullies it messes up with the balance or your cars engine and it is/can be bad for you engine is that true?

Is that a good deal or do you guys recommend something else

If you're dead set on getting UDP's, get Steeda!

yup get steeda.. never heard any problems with em.

but you MUST understand.. pulleys dont yeild big gains, you will NOT get the advertised hp rating. the only reason im getting pulleys is becuase its the last little mod i can really do to my motor withought cracking it open.

it would cost me $80 more to get the steeda ones, do you guys think that that the moto blue ones arent worth it?

my buddys motos arent piggyback and he has no problems. Piggy back is when your factory balancer is still attatched to your new underdrive crank.It doesnt look good. Piggy backs are a POS I have BBK's and hate them
