I want to have a pulley, ARP bolt, belts installed to my LS1 engine. Of course, I'll be buying it from them too. Who do you guys recommend? Closer to Dallas would be a plus.

Can't call them right now but I will write down their number and call them when I get back. I'm still deployed.

I like SQR and highly recommend them. There is RPM in Lewisville and SNL in Keller also. I've used XHP and sadly can't recommend them.

Talk to either Daniel at Simple Quik Racing, Keith at RPM, or Steve at SNL. Either one of those shops would be more than happy to help you out with your pulley install. I wouldn't recomend Extreme Horsepower at all, if its your last resort contact Marcus with extreme he will give you good service at xtreme. As far as Arvil and Chris Fowler of extreme just act cocky and stuck up about things.
