I have a powerbond on my car
We have them in stock for $179, same as SLP. Better quality then a ASP, and far above the professional products junk.

1. The Powerbond pulley I had was uncoated, and looked like a rusted hunk of **** in my engine bay. I don't pride myself on a clean engine bay, but at the same time, I don't like anything detracting from the look as soon as you open the hood. Compared to my nice electric water pump, Katech tensioner, Turn One power steering pump and pulley, etc, it looked out of place.
2. I have no real need for an underdrive pulley with my accessory drive setup. The Turn One pump already pumps less fluid than the stocker did (that's how it keeps the fluid temps down), I have an underdrive pulley on my alternator to keep its RPMs down during WOT passes and such, and I have an electric water pump.
3. The ATI Superdamper seems to be the damper of choice among the engine building elite, and I wanted a nice damper if I was gonna replace the Powerbond.
4. I plan on building a bigger engine down the road with at least a 4" stroke, and I wanted to have a damper that would keep vibrations to a minimum if I'm gonna be spending that kinda coin on an engine.
That's really it. Number 2 was the deciding factor on why I didn't do the Superdamper in a 10% underdrive.

My ASP fell apart after about 5 years. Got a March now and it looks like a higher quality piece but I have only had it in about 6 months.
Fluidamper is supposed to be good (and expensive!) but they only offer an 10% underdrive and I wanted a 25%. This underdrive frees up more horsepower but also makes your accessories last longer if you spin your motor up high often.
