A year of wobbling caused my crankshaft to almost strip the thread off - leading to a new crankshaft for what a couple horsepower a little better response? In and out of shops not knowing what was wrong. Put a stock pulley back on it and bought a new crank bolt and got rid of the car after a couple thousand miles.

If your in need of horsepower that badly Id skip all the bolt-ons and go FI for a couple thousand more..

Somethings arent meant to change.. Something connected to the main component of your motor is one of them IMO.
Who's pulley was it?

A pulley is NOT something you want to take a chance on with a sub-par vendor. Don't go thinking you're going to save $$ and find one on ebay, you are opening yourself up to potential problems.

Not all pulleys are the same.. by any means. Thanks zeebra, you bring up a good point.
