IMO, the crank pulley is such a nonissue that I wouldn't want to take the chance 
that it will reduce the reliability of the engine.  The 7M is pretty solid, with 
the exception of the head gasket, as long as you stay within its limits.  I think 
that the gains to be had from a lightweight pulley don't outweigh the risks.  But 
that's me.

I'm taking a chance on an eBay clutch.  The price semed worth the chance.  I'm 
not at 450 rwhp, but the specs of the clutch look up to it.

The seller is "gripforce clutches".  I'm not sure how this is going to pan out as 
I upgrade to more power in the coming summer, but for the price I figure that I 
can give it a try.
