I don't know if anyone makes them. A couple of companies played around with the idea way back in the early 208 days, but after the harmonic balancer recall no one really touched the idea again. I don't think they freed up much power anyway. I remember claims of 8 peak hp which is not worth the price they were asking for the pulleys.
As for sprintbooster...some people on here love them, I don't. They don't make your car more powerful or faster, they simply decrease the pedal's throttle resolution so the car thinks you're flooring it before you actually are. They state this on their own website. You can get a similar effect by moving your seat a little closer to the pedals. For free.
Some good reading on Sprintbooster

Cat back Exhaust will not add any performance and is purely cosmetic/sound. Shorty headers won't add any appreciable power as the bottleneck is in the head itself. Any extra flow you get will not be worth the cost and labor.
Springs/shocks and sway bars are decent upgrades
The front calipers and rotors from a w203 C32 are an inexpensive and worthwhile braking upgrade.
There's not really much else unless you're looking to spend supercharger or engine teardown money.

I still have mine. The most cost effective upgrade for a 430 would be a CLK 55 airbox with good filters. I've gotten a dyno proven 10 horses at the rear wheels with no other mods.
