If I sent Jspeed my crank, PS, and Alt pulleys would they make me blue lightweight pulleys for all three that can be used with OEM belts?

That would be ideal. I'd rather go lighter instead of underdriving.
But beggars cant be chosers. At this point, I just hope you convince them to make a set for us RD1s Redz.

Possibly, but I doubt it.
If you send me the pulleys, I can get my official list going. I'll have the Beta 2.5 stuff soon, ABQELANTRA is givin them to me.

I already had a word with SharkRacing, and I informed them that the OEM crank pulley was about 4 pounds and 8 ounces, and they literally shit their pants. On their site (they might've changed it) says that their pulleys are approximately half the weight of the stock pulley.
SR said that their crank pulley weighs 12-14 ounces, which makes it slightly heavier than JSpeed's. The only thing that makes SR advantageous is the supply of 2 belts for the install. SR also admitted that there are sometimes delays in shipping due to certain items not being in stock, however that there are plenty pulleys in stock, so they should ship within 2-3 business days.

Shark Racing sells a Power and Water set minus the Crank pulley for $140, both pulleys are supposed to be 1/2 OEM weight. Perhaps combining the two (SR + Jspeed) would be best?
My only problem then is the belts for the JSpeed set.

I have the SharkRacing pulley set and it's much lighter then what SR claims. The GIM crank pulley alone weighs around 1/2lb. I don't remember what the GIM water and power steering pulley weighed, but I know they're much lighter combined then 1/2 the weight of oem pulleys they replace. I guess SharkRacing never bothered to get an approximate weight and just took a guess.

Seems to me that we're just, plainly, smarter than they are.
Half a pound? Good heavens! I guess that means it's lighter than JSpeed's then, which is a miniscule 10 ounces (mad propz to Redz). I believe it is unofficially the lightest crank weighed thus far. I betcha that thing rotates quick as all hell.=]
SR really needs to get their facts straight. It really lessens their customers opinions, if the CS isn't bad enough.

No, I don't know what happened to them since me and the wife have been busy with the house. I think she may have thrown them away unintentionally. I don't think I'm going to take the GIM pulleys off anytime soon..lol I've been very busy with other things lately besides the house.
