The NST Underdrive Crank Pulley would provide more of a performance gain, if you are either naturally aspirated or turbocharged.
Otherwise you can keep your crank pulley and add the NST Alternator and Water Pump Pulley Kit if you'd like to add some extra performance gains.
Good luck and have fun with all your projects!

I'm getting a LOT of stuff from you guys at the end of this semester (I get all my service awards then)... anyway I could get a discount for ordering so much? *wink wink* 
I'll be getting the:
Underdriven pulley set (3)
Battery tie-down
Power steering fluid cap
Front strut bar
Rear strut bar (possibly)
And I already have your shifter cable bushings... if I hadn't gotten the Megan short shifter and cage bushings and the Ingalls ETD when I did I'd have gotten them from you guys as well. Love NST!

We've had many different NST pulleys on our road race car. There have been zero problems, and they've performed flawlessly. We're talking now close to 10,000 race miles, spinning constantly between 5,000 and 7,200 rpm! Whether you're trying to up the boost on your supercharger, lower weight, and/ or underdrive your accessories, these are quality pieces that will more than fit the bill.

And for those who may not know, Mr. Dan Gardner is the driver of one of the most record setting Scions in racing history!
This man knows what he is talking about, and is more often than not the first to reach the checkered flag!

So, just to clarify for when I do make my order... if I'm aiming for the best performance (from the engine to the wheels) possible, I'd want the underdriven crank, the 20% overdriven alt, and the WP-lite, correct?

i've had the full set (crank/water/alternator) on for over 30k miles and have never had an issue.
BTW, underdriving everything would further take away from creature comforts. freakin race car dan
but i guess it's not really an issue of you don't use your AC and stuff...

If the car is TRD Supercharged it should use the CR-Lite Crank instead of the Underdrive Crank Pulley.

i've had my NST CR LITE pulley installed for almost 4 months now and let me tell you it is the best upgrade i have ever done..its one of the few mods that you can actually feel a difference. no intake or exhaust can do that!!! acceleration/torque improve, and the TC just becomes a more livelier car (especially coz i'm automatic lols). its the most cost effective modification in my opinion. i'm planning to get the water pump next but i wasn't sure if it would make alot of difference like this mod did..i want to stay away from the alternator pulley only because you have to change your belt..but if there was an oem sized version i would definitely get it! NST FTW!!!

Just FYI... The ALT & WP-LITE Pulleys are compatible with your OEM belt. No need to change your belt if you decide to go with these pulleys.
The ONLY pulley that would require a belt change would be the Underdrive Crank Pulley. No other pulley requires a belt change.
Thanks again, good luck and have fun with all your projects!
