source for pulleys

I want to pulley down my procharger setup while I have everything apart but I don't know where to source pulleys from.

I have a reichard (sp?) 4.5" 8-rib setup now making around 14psi but I'd like to be closer to 17-18psi. Here is a pic of the setup I'm running now.

Any help would be awesome!

they have grooves cut 90 degrees from the belt grooves, cant see it very well but here is one on my old p1sc, you can see the grooves.

a couple of people have PM'ed me already say that it doesn't look like a Reichard pulley. I'm pretty sure it has those grooves cut in the ribs but I have to look again to be sure.

Not that it really matters much, with that big of a pulley I doubt you need one unless its a 6 rib drive which it isnt.

While making the changes you may want to add a billet Alt & PS pulley for the extra strength:

in 6 or 8 rib.

I have a brand new custom 3.4" 8 rib pulley (no offset) that I can sell you cheap (55 shipped). It will fit a D1 so I'm not sure if it will fit your F1. Let me know if you're interested.

That pulley in the original post looks to be the Procharger 4.5" pulley the same one that came on my D1

I think that a 3.4" on a F1 would put him way over the 17psi he is trying to get.

The stock alt pulley is strong (steel) but heavy. The tensioner is plastic & deflects at high RPM's plus they have almost no outer lip to help keep the belt from throwing. The power steering is plastic & due to the location it is subject to alot of heat. Look at one that is 6-8 years old....it will have stress cracks in it & already be deteriorating. When the PS lets go at high RPM's it takes other stuff with it. All in billet are under $300.
