SO maybe I will just make them with the caveat that it may shorten engine life.

As long as people know what they are getting themselves into, then by all means, go do it!
I'm mostly trying to provide information for the lazy butts out there who:
1) think this will add like 50 hp to the car
2) think this will knock 1 second off their quarter mile run
3) think this will help the engine last longer/be more efficent/whatever
Lots of people do things without knowing why.
Jake, obviously you are capable, and informed, but there are many immature people on the board who could be counting on their car as their only vehicle.
A lightweight undamped pulley is not something you put on your *only* car -- perfect for weekend drag cars however.
Don't forget the lightened flywheel too -- that'll make a far bigger difference than a lightweight pulley. With a lightened flywheel, it ought to be easier to notice the difference that a lightened flywheel makes. Hopefully, if you are doing that much, then the AC and PS deletes are not far behind, nor is a significantly larger turbo -- because of all that extra under hood room, you realize. I mean, you can't have that space going to waste!
