10% underdrive balancer pulleys

What good benefits from an 10% underdrive balancer pulley can be expected? Better and faster launch?

Reduced parasitic loss by turning the various accessory drive pullies slower. Most people see 5ish WHP/WTQ from it.

Individually you wouldn't see much, but it all adds up.

Like mentioned above gains are usually in the 5 rear wheel horsepower range.

Better harmonic balance if doing a cam and spinning to 7k..hp is a side benefit
