Crank pulley
my 2.0 ride is fitted with one made by summit racing which i purchased & installed at mcwell four years ago. so far, so good...
lol! when you are driving alone, yes, you could feel it, but if you are heavy into ice, forget about installing it...
Is e feel significant?

yes, throttle response seems to be better, especially during "in-gear" acceleration (e.g. overtaking on expressways)... can really feel the difference if driven with the air-cond off... however, these are all "butt feel"... do not think it would add hp, but let the engine more rev happy...
if anyone wants to try it, make sure it's a lighter pulley with the same physical dimensions as the stock pulley. this helps in reducing rotational mass. getting a lighter & "smaller" pulley will under drive other accessories, and might have a "bad" effect over time.
just my two cockroach cents...
I know Honda crank pully has some dampening that cancels out vibration of the rotating engine components at certain RPM which in turn reduces wear and tear. The light weight "racing" crank pulley dont have this since its designed for racing.

Yup. Stock pulleys have got harmonic dampening built in so that at certain frequencies, the resonance will not shake itself to bits.
Aftermarket pulleys certainly will not, therefore I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. No offence to the guys who've already got it installed, I'm just not comfortable putting something which could potentially cause failure in a dramatic fashion. Unless I'm driving a modded rocket like the Type-Rs and I'm trying to wring every last bit of performance from it.
