No need to yell.

I have a March pulley and I think it's a good one. But there are several options.

I have an SLP unit and the quality is excellent. Whatever you get, go ahead and get the ARP bolt and torque to ARP specs, then you can forget about it. The SLP unit does not require an aftermarket belt tensioner, due to the pulley walls being deep. But it is a bit heavier than some others.

Installed a powerbond on a buddies car..Worked out real well..You will most likely be getting custom length belt or belts anyways..New Era is where I got that one...

like my march just fine. Superior dampening over the competition but may be a bit heavier

The Powerbond is a very nice pulley like mentioned above. (SLP is reboxed Powerbond) They are SFI approved and already keyed should you want to key the crank. They will tyipcally pick you up about 8 RWHP or so. Let me know if you need one. We have them in stock and ready to ship immediately!

Powerbond and SLP are the same pulley and are very good pulleys . If you get one and are picky about appearance, I would paint it or have it powdercoated because they will be covered with surface rust before you know it .

Don't forget, this is a harmonic damper first, pulley second. ATI is the top unit. I have used both ATI and Powerbond. Both are keyed so you can pin the crank using the ATI pin kit. ATI is fully rebuildable.

March here, really good unit, fluid dampened, great for harmonic control at high rpm.

If you are looking for more of an actual dampener, I would go ATI hands down. However, if this is a street/strip car not spending most of its life at 7000 + RPM, there are probably better places to spend your money than on a $500 pulley. The Powerbond makes more sense. That being said, if you are looking for the best on the market, ATI is they way to go IMO.

Well said ... I got mine from Texas Speed...ATI is the best for a race application ... but the Powerbond/SLP is high quality and perfect for a street/strip car.

I dont understand why everyone says the PowerBond and the SLP pullies are the same, Has anyone ever sat the 2 next to eachother. I have an SLP on my car and one of my friends has a PowerBond. The Major differece is that the SLP has tall side walls to keep from throwing belts. The PowerBond does not have the same side walls as the SLP. In my book, that makes them different.

I have an asp pulley and it was top quality..its balancer pulley combined not sure if they even make sandwich types like they had for the lt1 cars. I have asp balancer/pulley one piece on my 96z also no complaints. They were always backordered though.
