Anyone have any feedback on the lightweight crankshaft pully from Trojan horse? Two pounds lighter than stock. Hoping to make my XB9SX rev a little snappier off the bottom. |

OOH! How much is that? I have a lightweight flywheel in my car and it totally transformed her character. |

It is listed at 155gbp, which in USD is about $284, less 17% VAT, plus shipping. Not cheap! Hope it looks better than what is shown in the pic. For that kind of money, it should be polished! |

Revolution Perfromance offers the same thing for the US market, listed about $161.00 US. When you are trying to figure out the value of an overseas part, what you have to do is not pay attention to the conversion rate, but simply pay attention to the price as if you were living there. Notice how thru Trojan its $155 and locally its $161. That is how you judge the value of the item. Its not Trojan's fault or any of our other over seas makers that we have different money systems. |

Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming anyone for currency exchange rates or about the cost of parts. Its all good. I like those revolution performance sprockets. It appears from the photo that the Trojan sprocket is steel rather than aluminum. Just wondering how the aluminum would hold up compared to good old steel. |

That link has the exact same picture as the one above. Notice the #3 written on the part. |

Hi, we race and roadride the lighweight primarycomponents from Rev.Perf. since begin of this season. Before we use a lightend steelsprocket, but this Parts are much lighter. Also the clutchbasket is great. Complete it saves up to 3 Kg rotating masses. On the last opening of the Primarys we found no wear on the hardandodizing. Regards Jens |

On the last opening of the Primarys we found no wear on the hardandodizing. After how many races/km's was that? |

Jens, how does the lighter clutch and crank sprocket change the performance of the engine? Is it worth the money? |

Seems to me you would trade some of your engine braking ability for a faster throttle response. Fine by me. |

The lighter that stuff is the more engine breaking you'll have. |

Hi, we have now app. 2.500 km under real raceconditions and on a second kit app. 5.000 street kmīs on that parts. Brian Nallin tells me they used it the complete 04 season also in all Flattrackers. I like that the engine is "upreeving" quicker and have in total less weight. Regards Jens |
