Those of you with ASP pulleys? What do you think i am pretty set on getting an asp friends i have talked to said that they are good pulley and i was just wondering what you guys think of yours? also i had a guy tell me that it is not good to buy a pulley that has the dampener built into it but i was looking at my stock pulley an the dampener on that thing sucks it doesnt even really have anything to it. is it actaully better for your engine to get and after market pulley?
I have had no issues from mine and its been on the car for over four years now. Now my SS only has 17xxx miles on it, but it does see Road Atlanta 2-3 times a year. Did it add any hp? Probibily a little. It all adds up in the end. If I bought one today, yes I would buy one with a dampener built in.

yea thanks man i just keep reading on things cuz i like to do alot of reasearch before i buy something and some reviews are making me a little skeptical on alternator charging, watter pump and powersteering. they were also saying how your lights would dim at a stop your ac wouldnt kick as hard. Did you notice any difference

You can get them at AutoStupid or any auto parts store.

I personally went with the Powerbond only because it was cheaper, but now that it's all rusty looking, I kinda wish I had gone with the ASP. I think any of the ones available will be a great addition, but definitely don't expect to notice much of a difference. It also introduced a problem I didn't expect when I went to an aftermarket alternator (160 amp) - I have to idle my engine at 900 RPMs for it to charge properly now. At least I have the tuning software to do this, but I would have been pissed otherwise.
With my stock alternator, I didn't have to idle it up at all. For some reason, the cut in/out on my aftermarket alternator needed some more RPMs (although I think it could have been avoided if I had been a bit more proactive with it - at least now I know).
We did an ASP pully on a friend's LS2 402. He had some issues with belt slippage until he added the Katech tentioner pully.
That's why I went with the SLP (powerbond) Pully. I gained 12rwhp & 14rwtq.
