Thanks for the insight.
The negative cable disconnect has done the trick. I have had (3) drive cycles since reconnecting without any type of CEL.
That said, I found it odd the NVRAM & KRAM resets did not provide the same results as the battery disconnect.
I thought they basically provided the same effect, but I guess not.

Is the belt wobbling, or the pulley itself? Did the plate behind the pulley become misaligned when you took off the old pulley? Are you sure there isn't something lodged behind the pulley and the E-shaft?
Are you sure you lined it up correctly when putting it on? Because its keyed to only go on in one way. If you placed it on the wrong orientation thats what could be causing the wobble. And no amount of tightening could fix that.

Allen Head Bolts?
Did your Agency pulley come with those? I re-used the stock hex head bolts, which were quite close to the inner pulley face. So close in fact, I had to buy a 1/4" drive ratchet because the 3/8" drive socket was too thick.

here's something for all of us to think about. I have two Rx8's...one with flywheel, intake, exhaust, pulleys..and another base model 8 with exhaust and intake.....and, the one without all the sh** pulls on the other. No joke. We have dragged several times and the base model with intake/exhuast pulls on the GT with flywheel/pulley/intake/exhaust/grounding kit..etc. wtf.
We have the same size aftermarket wheels/tires, and we do our best to launch and even out speeds. The GT version launches better, but the base model is gaining ground in 3rd gear.

nevermind, what turn out is that it didn'y line up right, so the bolts got stripped, but why it didnt turn out is the back part had a lip on the AP pully, we just filled that down with a file and it fit on fine, unfortunalty 2 of the bolts stripped, no ******* autoshop thats open has them, right when they hear the bolt is from a car "nope! we dont got em!!" .. well.. look and mabey you do, and its sunday so half of the good ones arnt even open.. sigh... take down itsa 45 minutes job.. thats a lie unless your a good mechanic whos done this more then once on more then 1 vehicle..

I believe it was stated after the intake is out and battery is disconnected the swap is about 45 minutes or so. All depends on how smooth a person can pull those items before swapping the pulleys.
Disclaimer: "If a person is not used to projects like this it will take 3 hours."
When I do work that includes critical items I take pictures so I can review them.
Little things like how the main shaft pulley goes on matters.
A shop manual is beneficial too
