SLP has one that does have a SFI #, I got it mainly due to the higher side wall, helped avoided buying a Solid belt tensioner. Or got used like said.

I understand a budget but this is the one thing that makes you high dollar investment run smooth.

If I were you I wouldn't race or rush it for a few weeks until you can buy the correct part. Also the option I see is to buy a ATI. Their is nothing better.

Summit has a nice one for 189.00. It is SFI. These engines are internally balanced. In my opinion any SFI one should be good enough.

The slp pulley is made by powerbond. I also believe they make the Tci pulley. So all 3 sfi pulleys are the same thing, all made by the same place.

I ended up going with the Sfi slp pulley. I like the Ati, but more then dbl the price? I could see 300 dollars, but not 470 or what ever it is.
