Default ZETEC Under Drives

Anyone here got a ZETEC 2.0L and could use a Under Drive at the group buy price?

Heres details off the Power Bond Site,

Quote:
Demand for performance parts to suit the Ford Focus ZETEC engine is growing rapidly in the USA and Europe. Australian harmonic balancer Precision Parts have many customers for their Powerbond performance balancer range in the markets so a performance balancer for the Focus was a must have.

The Focus is a serpentine belt engine and benefits from under-driving the accessory pulleys to reduce parasitic power losses from the alternator, air conditioning, water pump and power steering at high engine RPMs. A smaller, lighter harmonic balancer also acts like a lightweight flywheel by sharpening throttle response and allowing the engine to rev out faster.

Powerbond have released a 25% under drive billet steel balancer for the Focus ZETEC engine that is SFI approved for all forms of motor sport. The precision CNC machined steel hub and inertia ring is assembled using Powerbond's pressure bonded rubber eliminating balancer separation and spinning. Every Powerbond unity is dynamically balanced at the factory for smooth running at ultra high RPMs.
Drop me a PM.

The 25% underdrive worries me (compared to the 10% one they offer)

25% is no doubt good for racing, but I am not sure about underdriving the accessories by 25% on a daily driver.

What is their list price, ands how does it compare to the various underdrive pulleys available from the US?
