The BBKs are piggyback, and the piggybacks are what cause most of the problems. Most people (myself included) will say to stay away from them.

If you really feel the urge to get U/D pulleys, get a set with an SFI approved balancer. They cost more, but they are a much safer design than the piggybacks.

I wouldn't bother though. Some people get 4-5rwhp, some gain zero. To me, I don't want to risk throwing the balance of the engine off for a few hp.
