Slp Crank Pulley i installed it tonight. i hope its going to be ok, there was no way i could get it to torque to 240ft lbs. it seated all the way i think and then i TQ it to the 37ft lbs and got about 120 or so degress on it.. just went out and didnt throw a belt and the pulley didnt fall of so i think im good. i put a **** load of lock tight on the bolt..what do you guys think..i think she will be ok

The 240 ft-lb torque is for an ARP bolt only...the additional 140 degree thing is for GM's torque to yield bolt. Ideally, you should have been able to get to the full 140 degrees (I think that's what it is) or at least 240 ft-lbs if you have the ARP bolt.
When I had my SLP pulley installed, the installer tightened it down with an impact wrench. I never checked it, but when I pulled it off a couple years later (just a couple weeks ago actually), I found that the bolt was only in there finger tight. At least the pulley hadn't started walking yet.
Moral of the story - if you want to take the chance on it being tight enough, so be it. Keep an eye on it, and don't just think it is going to be okay like I did. It damn near bit me in the ***.

Take it from one who thought it was just like a mustang pulley 
. just watch your altenator gauge if it dont pick one day to the norm and the battery voltage is good you have a problem good luck.
