Default ASP vs. March

I've been waiting on a March UD pulley from TR for a few months now, but I guess they're on backorder or something crazy. Out of frustration I cancelled the order, and am considering the ASP.

Question:

I know the ASP is a tried and proven design, but the March is supposed to be a superior product because of the liquid core not causing as much knock retard.

Has anybody tried both? Has ASP fixed their issues, or should I try to find another vendor for the March's?

I've got a full cam package, and headers sitting in my living room waiting for the last little piece so it can all go all in together. I'm going to go bonkers if I can't get this stuff on soon. lol

IMHO, the SLP/powerbond is the best made pulley. Speaking of KR...when I had my car tuned after cam/pulley swap, my tuner was amazed at the lack of KR my car showed. With the SLP/powerbond pulley, you definately won't have any KR issues.

I've not heard a whole lot about the SLP pulley. Is it a newer product? Also, do you know anybody else with an aftermarket pulley to compare to? Thanks for the tip BTW.
