I'll never run a pulley. Plenty of people here run then with no issues, but I know a guy who lost his built motor because of one. I have run them with no issues in the past, but when the guy who built my car told me specifically to never run a pulley because one of them destroyed his motor I listen.

Granted, that was on a turbo setup making 700whp, so any issue gets magnified. On a NA car I wouldn't expect any issues since the margin for error is much higher.

Honestly, if you want to lose rotating mass get a flywheel first.
