I would contact RPI directly or ask member vegastrashed (also known as, joet@raceprecision). They can tell you the effect it would have on the 530 engine. I'm really not too sure how much of a difference it would make on the I6. I would think it would. Would it be similar gains as to what I'm experiencing? Probably not, but I would think you would still notice it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
As for buying the products, I got my stuff from Joe(r1racer) and Nerwyll(Nerweezy) at Trinity. They totally hooked me up with these RPI products.

RPI doesn't make pulley for I6 or V8. Nobody makes pulleys for either engines.

Why don't you remap Jay's car before the SLO meet so he can do some "testing".

Thanks for clarifying Joe. Any reason why? Negligible difference, therefore waste of time doing R&D?

I can get it done, but it depends on Jessie our remap guy. Jay, Ill let Vincent know about this. Call tomorrow to the shop and make an appointment and see if we can get it done by Friday. I will be out working at my other job with no computers.
We'll see if Speed Innovations is making any real gains for the 550.
See you soon brother!
