If you would like to debate this...
Nope, not looking to debate. I was merely quoting NST's statement (I have no affiliation) and trying to be helpful as far as contributing to the info pool.

I've read your comments and theoreticals about how these lightweight pulleys should have no appreciable effect to performance (via HP gain). But as I've already stated, I have no expectations of any kind of HP/Torque gains (I absolutely agree with you that that's marketing BS, or if there are any gains it would be too inconsequential to merit mention), but I AM expecting to gain the quicker throttle response.
