Ordering my Gen 3 this week, thinking about getting a Crank Pulley. I'm leaning towards Stillen just to keep everything from the same company, but is there any other brands

Best crank pulley?
Ordering my Gen 3 this week, thinking about getting a Crank Pulley.
I'm leaning towards Stillen just to keep everything from the same company, but is there any other brands out there better than Stillen? Also I have read that you also may need a Alternator pulley? Whoever has either installed, any input or advice would be appreciated!!!!

I have like 4 sets of complete brand new NST pulleys for sale, red and blue. No wait from them either (they got kicked off the forum...)

Best crank pulley = OEM...
Best aftermarket would be something made by fluidampr, if they make one. Best small metal disc that offers no damping and fits... ideally something made of steel over aluminum, but really any.

The stock damper does more than just drive the belt. It balances out torsional vibrations/harmonics in the crankshaft (search the Web for "harmonic balancer" for more info). Not as big a deal as it used to be but, unless you have a real good reason to go with a straight pulley, I'd stick with stock.

Just a couple of interesting, fairly non-technical, links regarding the inherent vibration of reciprocating parts in an engine and the role played by crank dampers...
