Under Drive Pulley
I am in the process of getting ready to do a cam package install. I am curious on how many of you also did the under drive pulley at the same time. I have heard that the under drive pulley is hard on the motor unless you spend over $500 for the pulley. Has anybody run into this situation?

How about Dampening?
Can anybody tell me if this ASP pulley has dampening built in? I think that is my concern on how tought it is on the motor if it does not have the dampening built in.

Question on underdrive pulleys...
I bought an MTI crank pulley but haven't installed it yet until I get the H/C ready to go. Anyone have any experiences and/or opinions about the difference between the ASP and MTI crank pulley?
Also, I wondered since I'm planning to install the Magnuson SC eventually if I should get the pulley drilled so I don't have to tear into that again later?
