F-Body ASP pulley users I was just wondering if all the ASP/timing chain related failures are isolated to Corvette setups. The post below was made in another thread and really got me thinking.
I'd like for some other ASP pulley users in F-Bodys to post up. Personally I installed my ASP back in about 2000 put a good 15-18K miles on it and 100's of track passes without issue. This was with the stock LS1 timing chain and spinning 6800 rpm's.
I've never had a problem on an F-body PERIOD with any of the chains or pulleys. It seems to be a Corvette only design thats breaking them lately due to harmonics issues.
I've used SLP, Powerbond, ASP, ATI, etc etc etc on F-bodies and neither has given me a "problem". However my pulley of choice on F-bodies is the ASP, because it is the lightest of the choices.
