Default Underdrive Pulley? which one?

well...im looking at 2 and only 2...SLP or ASP...which one has better quality fabrication and build...they both claim 10 rwhp...and such...they do the same...its just how htey look....and function...

will these fit the 455 stroker i have planned in the future or will they needabe replaced by a specifc pulley for it?

Everyone uses the ASP, not sure why. Any SFI approved pulley should be sufficient, and the pulley will work fine with a different shortblock. Although I don't see why it would matter.

the SLP looks more effective to me....and it looks like it has more improved design

however it says throwing belt is common but since i dont kno about pullies i woudlnt kno if thats true


is the SLP design actually a really good one....any1 kno Pros/Cons?

With these being elastomer dampers. Is there any harm putting them on aftermarket rotating assemblies? Wouldnt a fluid type damper be better for different harmonics? Maybe im looking at it wrong, but wouldnt there be different harmonics from a stock rotating assembly to a forged set up?

Pulley is not for power or looks, its main purpose (often overlooked) is to absorb bad harmonics, so MARCH will take my vote (fluid dampner).

Well for looks no, but most people (with an already smooth running motor that is) DO in fact put a n underdrive pulley on to go quicker/faster, no?

Yeah, thats why I got it. It might take .1 .2 tenths off. It will also smooth out the harmonics as well.

I ordered the march pulley. A fluid damper for less than the ASP pulley, can't beat that (sdpc had them on sale). I don't know if i'd say it's not for looks, the stock pulley looks so crappy. If nothing else, i think it's easier to use the a harmonic balancer puller than a 3 arm puller, so that's a plus. Hey Ali G, why'd you take your mod list down?

I have the ASP pulley, I've never had a problem with belts coming off or anything like that. I took a tenth off my 1/8 mi. time.

No, no tuning required but if I were going to be getting tuned soon anyway I would be sure to put it on before just in case.

What I meant was that we sould base our pulley choice on:
1- Harmonic absorbtion (the most important function) remember KR problems with ASP old design???
2- power
3- looks
4-weight (negligent as it is centrifugal weight)
