Personally I like the SLP pulley as it has taller edges to keep the belt from slipping off

I've used ASP pulleys on many cars and never had one issue. I will always use them in the future.

I have the SLP pully and highly reccomend it. The ASP is also a big name, with a good reputation. I just like the SLP better. The ASP's had issues with the old design slipping belts. I heard they made a larger lip on the pully & the belts do not slip anymore.

I've got the ASP on my '99 SS. SLP on my '01 SS. They both work great with no problems. The SLP was PITA to install though.

Do UD pulleys make your car's systems more sluggish, i,e, is the power steering, ac, etc. less effective? Or do they function close to stock while taking less effort for the engine to drive them?
