Honestly, in our cars...it won't be a problem. With such low power in the first place, the crankshaft should hold up. Also, the problem with our engines is in the top end not the bottom end. Our bottom ends are very strong and rigid...it's the top ends and sometimes the blocks that go in our engines...at least from my experience as well as from stories on the site.

I guess though, it wouldn't necessarily be worth the money to buy an underdrive pulley considering how much power you will actually restore...but I guess the same would go for an intake and exhaust on our cars. It's all about freeing up lost power, and every little bit helps.

The flywheel, however, is an awesome modification for our cars especially as you add more and more aftermarket parts. As you increase power, you still are only getting a fraction of the potential power to the ground because you are on stock drivetrain components...but as soon as you upgrade your drivetrain then you will begin to realize how much gain you are actually getting out of those mods you've spent so much money on. Honestly, the best modfication I have done to my car is my custom torque converter followed by the S-AFC. I guess the best reason why is that you get immediate satisfaction out of drivetrain upgrades because the effect is very noticeable.

Sorry I'm rambling, but I just got back from a SoCo party.
