I actually just put that one on last weekend. You're still going to need a shorter belt. it does say that it retains the stock belt, but it doesn't. I put a 1" shorter belt on mine and it works great. You could probably get away with a 1/2" shorter if you could find one.

I think some of you all are confusing it with the 3rd Gen one..the 4th Gen Pulley fit no problem on mine.

That's exactly what I have. it even has the GM part number on it as well. The belt was just a bit loose for my liking, it actually was loose enough to cause charging problems. So i believe it depends on the life of the belt as well as the brand of the belt if you need a shorter belt.

Thanks for all of the leads! I'm sure I'll find one now. Trying to put the car on a diet. I know this will drop some weight.

No increased power, it helps take weight from the front of the car (where it counts the most). Same power, slightly better ETs. Cleaner engine bay.
