New ASP Pulleys are SFI Approved.
I was on the back order list at Thunder Racing for a new ASP Pulley. Angie said that ASP was taking so long to get the pulleys out because they were getting them SFI Approved. TR shipped my pulley yesterday, we'll see if its true when it gets here tomorrow.

Re: New ASP Pulleys are SFI Approved.
I just picked up a ASP pulley tonight at Speed Inc and it is indeed SFI approved. Just confirming what's been stated.

Re: New ASP Pulleys are SFI Approved.
Is it recommended to change both the crank and the alternator pullies, or just the crank pulley alone? I would like to change mine.

Re: New ASP Pulleys are SFI Approved.
A friend of mine just got one from Summit Racing and it was also the new SFI approved version.
Most people just do the crank pulley but I too am curious if there's any more power to be gained by doing both.

It does not look as cool as the origional. The Al center has more appeal than the gloss black.

I know I am whinning about its appearance.
Is the rubber dampener part visable from the back? The new ASP pulley looks like solid metal.

Then the new ASP pulley must have some type of fluid material inside. Which is cool but quite a divergence from the old ASP or the stock pulley dampener design.
I have never inspected a ASP fluid dampener, but my guess is they have employed a similar tecnonogy with the 25% UD pulley.

Keep your old non-SFI approved pulleys. They are slightly lighter and just as safe.

For awhile the expensive ATI balancer was the only solution for those of us required to have an SFI approved balancer, but now there are a few nice alternatives.
I'm very happy with my C.A.T. SFI approved balancer (yes, one of the ones on eBay)...
