And at a better ratio than 10 to 1. Nobody though has posted before and after numbers. I may have to be the first to try it.

The lightweight pulleys are about 4 pounds less weight and deliver about 5 more HP to the wheels.
My bad ... I finally focused on your "rotational mass" reference ... I was hung up on any weight loss ... seems easy to test if you dyno with the rear wheels you have, and then slap some lighter ones on.
