Not me. I need help in 2nd gear!  
Will the cam gears help you in 2nd any? Also, does the car need to be customed tuned to give the 9hp in 2nd for the UDP? Or is that an automatic gain when you add the UDP?

I've got mods.

Cam gears "seemed" to have helped me down low.
As I haven't dyno tuned them yet, I can't say for sure.
No tuning necessary for UDP, just need the correct belt.

Because that's like a ten pound difference instead of a one pound difference. A stock crank pulley weighs 3.4 pounds (your UDP does not save six pounds) and has a radius of about 2.5 inches. A stock tranny flywheel weighs over 20 lbs and has more than twice the radius, and probably has more of its mass concentrated at the outer edge. That means that it has something like fifteen times the moment of inertia that the pulley has.
