I have the massive pulley on my charger. I live at 5000 feet above sea level so my boost is pretty low to begin with. With the stock Powerworks kit, Ford Racing Head, Svt header, off road pipe etc. the most boost the kit could muster was 7 lbs of boost on a cold day. With the 6 lb pulley all I get is 11lbs of boost at redline with no belt slip. The motor is efficient but I want more boost.

I have the gates tensioner but a better pulley and bearings would be nice. If it were made smaller than the stock tensioner then people could have the ability to run the overdrive pulley with no problems, and it could work the same for people who don't want the overdrive pulley.
