There is a guy on ebay, that will cut your pulley for a few bucks, rather then buy one of them $$$$ ones.. Also not sure how you have your set up configured, but if you are using a idler pully, is there any way to drill a new hole mount for it in the bracket to give you more pulley wrap?? Just thought, that is what I did on my set up on my truck.. I am currently running 12 psi on my truck on a 6 rib kit, with 0 slip, but I have a ton of pulley wrap..

Here is the guy on ebay, this might be worth a shot..

Still never heard back from Reichard racing about machining the pulleys or their billet bracket, I did order a M-5 idler today from Procharger after CNC sent me a pic of his, it looks drastically better than the junk I been using, Smitty

Smitty, I like the looks of that, doing away with that swing tensioner....strait push should be much stronger...good luck and thanks for your help with my pulley deal...Rob
