Default underdrive vs. lightweight

Are there any companies out there that make a lightweight crank pulley vs an under drive crank pulley? I just really don't want to under drive my accesories, but would like the benefits of a lighter crank pulley.

I guy in the 2nd Gen section called up Modern Performance and they fabricated a crank pulley that was the same diameter as stock but used the same materials as the MPx lightweight underdrive pulley. I'm assuming your concerned that with the decreased diameter of an underdrive pulley the alternator and other accessories wont be getting enough power?

whichwont be a problem unless he is running his a/c 24/7, constantly turning, and has 5000 watts of stereo with no capacitor and running 2 sets of underglow neon. which has been done on a udp and still worked. so again i ask why?

buy a high output alternator if ur scared of that happening
i wokr with cell phones and electronics
the amount of electricyity your phone chrger and radr use are very little
the aftermarket oem speakers dont use more power either

I just wanted to lose a little bit of that weight, so it'll respond a little quicker. I'm just making sure the alternator and stuff will work as it does now with a UDP. No outrageous loads on the electrical system, so by the responses I've read, I should be OK.
