The information I have been searching for is how are the pulley's adjusted? I am assuming that they use a set of springs & weights so that as weights expand through centrifugal force they move a cam or something similar to expand or contract the pulley? Nice set of videos.

The question that begs to be answered is how well do they work in a high performance setup?
