I cannot vouch for the RJC piece as I don't have it but I performed the same mod on my WRX and the spool was definately faster. Better throttle response immediately.
I read somewhere (not sure how accurate this is) that reciprocating weight was to be calculated as a ratio of 8lbs for every 1 lb as opposed to stationary weight. Thus, 5 lbs of reciprocating weight would actually be more like 40 lbs (5 x 8) while stationary weight like the 50lbs in your truck (spare and jack) would still be 50lbs.
So, the idea is to remove as much recip. weight as possible (wheels are a biggie) GN rims are like 20lbs or so. A rough estimate (not including tires): 20x8= 160 x 4=640. Weld prostars at 15lbs each (15 x8=120x4 =480) 640-480=160lbs of weight savings? (that's like taking a person out of the car!)
Please note that I am not an expert and I have not been able to confirm if this information is acurate. However, based upon my experience, using light weight pullies and wheels has resulted in a better feeling and faster feeling car (according to my Butt Dyno)
Can any experts elaborate?
