Not to thread hijack, but I wonder how many guys have fried an alternator with a UD, and how many people run an OD on the alternator..???

Might be something for you to consider also..

I run the SLP pulley. It has a lip that I believe helps retain the belt. Mine has never come off. Plus the SPL is SFI approved, I'm not sure if the ASP is.

For what is it worth I just put an ASP on my car and I would not recommend it. Been throwing the belt off ever since and for 5 hp it is not worth that. Try the SLP with the raised lip.

I run the SLP pulley, and never had a problem with the belt come off. I still run the crappy stock tensioner as well.

I have SLP, just installed it. Its all steel, a VERY high lip for the walls so the belt wont be thrown. it does have a SFI # etched on it. Not sure if its a high enough rating to do some signifigant ET's.

VERY easy to install with proper tools, and no I didnt use the bolt lol.

I think either one will work. I also rememeber seeing someone get a pulley from Summit that is exactly the same and only ~$150 if money is an issue.

Here's the summit pulley. Just like the slp and powerdine pulleys.

ASP/stock tensioner/OD alt pulley. The only problem I had is removing it for cam installs. I rectified it quick though by taping out the bolt holes for a three bolt pully-puller to use with stock header bolts. Only time I've ever thrown a belt was on the dyno.

i have a powerbond which is the same as the slp. i am very happy and am also running an overdrive on the alt. i have an amp and sub and just wanted to be safe. so i vote slp/powerbond/or summit. they are all very close.
