A lift is highly recommended and 2 people. A 3/4" torque wrench that reads over 150 ft lbs and a breaker bar. The 178 crank pulley makes more boost/power than a 65mm supercharger pulley. Can't speak about the other pulleys as I've only had the 65 and 178 on my car.

Thanks velociabstract for the info. My guess is that the crank pulley would also "overdrive" the other accessories. Wouldn't that wear them out?
