I have a 2008 G37 Coupe. Mod's so far are a Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intake, and Stillen High Flow Cat's.
I am considering a lightweight Crank Pulley. Does anyone have advice ? Is it worth it ?

I would say avoid it. The factory crank acts as a dampener and replacing it can cause long term issues with the internals. I believe we have a member that posted of one causing motor issues.

Any mods that mess with the rotation of the crank need to be carefully considered. Lightweight flywheels are a similar mod that can have negative issues like chatter due to the vibrations in the crankshaft.
