There was a small piece in the cutting edge section of GM High Tech Performance. They can provide popular pulleys or you can have your pulley coated. They apply a textured coating that is supposed to improve belt contact and not hurt belt life. Anyone?

LOL.. all joking aside, that sounds like an interesting idea! I wonder how much it would cost to get the main and head unit pulleys coated..

Thats not too bad.. If that stuff works, it'd definitely be worth the price. Not so sure its cheap enough for me to try it and be a guinea pig, but someone here should definitely try it out and let the rest of us all know

I talked to them a while ago, pulley has to be steel, stainless or titanium for them to coat it. I used to sandblast the pulleys years ago and it worked well, for a short time until the aluminum wore back down, so I imagine this would work and last longer.

Damn.. yea, I just read that on their website in the FAQ

"As long as the pulley you currently have is steel, stainless or titanium - we can coat it! Go to our "We Can Coat Your Pulley" page for more information."

I have been reading good feedback about these pulley's, but did not see any for ProCharger. They do wear the belt out faster, but they do not shred like many would think.

The trick is to hard anodized them after sandblasting. I have 5K miles on a Vortech pulley that I blasted and had coated, and it looks the same as when I took it out of the bag. It's a dull grey and it is tough:



This picture was when I was playing with pulley alignment on an old belt that had already jumped a rib - had it laying around.
