Default What Pulley for my 98 Z28?

So i want to buy one of those 25% pulleys for my car. i hear they make a 5-10 rwhp difference? So what ones are there to choose from and which are the best? is there underdrive AND overdrive pulleys? any other ones? if so how much of a difference does each make, and which is best? Some more expensive then the others? Just looking for best bang for the buck Thanks!

SLP/Powerbond is a pretty solid one, and I think SDPC still has a sale going on for the pulley, new crank bolt, and belts for a pretty good price. ATI is "teh best evAr11!!" although I haven't been able to find a single post that specifies why it's the best, and worth twice as much as every other pulley.

Not saying it is worth twice the $$ but supposedly it dampens the torsional crankshaft vibrations better because it has two elastomer rings.

It is rebuildable.

Can be pinned to the crank.

It is available with a billet aluminum shell and is the lightest out there.

They used to offer only a 10% UD but now they make a 25%...

Oh....and it's what most nascar teams run so it has to be the best right haha.....

ASP here. Some voltage drop with the a/c on when I hold the brake for a bit. Other than that though, I haven't experienced any charging or electrical problems for the past 3yrs.
