PROCHARGER: is anyone having pulley aligment problems or its just me? 
God damn i swear i must of had this Pulley off 100 times and i still cant get it right.
Latest thing i have done is i had another aluminum spacer machined by a cnc shop so i dont have to use washers cuz i thought too many washers was a problem when they were crushing while tighten up the crank blower pulley. After i got the spacer made it was a hell of a lot straighter but still seemed a little wobbly. I drove the car over the weekend keeping my eye on the belt and it seemed fine for the first 80 miles. Last 20 miles something happend and it shreded off 3 ribs off a 12 rib belt. Got a new belt today and put it back toghether and the Crank Blower pulley still has a very slight shake to it, i'm so exhausted working on this damn pulley i havent been able to take the car to get it tuned because of this problem. My last thought is the actuall blower crank pulley is bent, i've had a problem once when i first put my motor in i had too much tension on the blower belt and snaped an Eagle 4340 crank snout off, now with a new crank i've tripled the miles on this motor and so far so good. I think when the snout snaped the pulley hit something and bent, because the actual stock crank pulley is straight. I ordered the New Blower/crank pulley today from ATI and i'm crossing my fingers right now that on Thursday when i put it on its staight if not im driving this car off the cliff

I went and put a smaller pully on my procharger the same way the other one came off with the stamped side out and it was eating belts,come to find out that i needed to turn the pully around.From the naked its hard to tell but there not the same width on each side of the pully.

it may be your crank pulley.
I had to get a new one and then the blower crank pulley mated up nice and no more wobble. no matter what I did with the original crank pulley it would still wobble.
I think it was $80 so it's not tooo expensive to try.

I had an issue, I have the SDCE setup though, I had some issues removed some shims and it was fine. You'll get it and once you do it will last a long time 
best of luck
