well i actually have not had it installed in MY car. but as the pulley, i've heard many instances where the underdrive pulley did dim the lights. maybe it wont for the 8 as staticlag said. I guess ya'll should listen to him because he actually has it on the car and he has in hand experience wit it.

i understand that, but i guess what im saying is; is it alittle over done? Will it be worth the money, i mean to also do the 4.77 final drive on top of the flywheel and pulley

I don't understand the complication over how the flywheel effects the engine...
From my understanding the flywheel has less rotational mass... It doesn't increase power, just allows more of the power the engine creates to go to the wheels instead of moving a heavy flywheel (or a light flywheel)
The underdrive pulley also seems to do the same thing of creating less rotational mass, but also is underdriven 20% (hence being called an underdrive pulley)...
After the HFC, I'm thinking about buying that AP underdriven pulley...

If they were to come out with a set that has shorter 1-4 gears & longer 5 & 6 I would buy it in a heartbeat.
the few times i'm actually on the freeway i'm stuck in traffic anyways.
