The only reason anyone would argue the case for underdrive pulleys is if they got off on arguing for the sake of arguing or, if they or someone they know has a vested financial interest. Nobody here has the time, resources or desire to put a set of pullies through a 10 point failure analysy. Making decisions without knowing every detail is what grown ups have to do every day. We cant be experts in every field so we rely on experts.

People have measured Steeda pullies and found them to be out of round. People have swapped from Steeda's to other brands and noticed reduced vibration from the engine. And Steeda underdrive pulleys have been the most logical culprit in a series of oil pump failures. Anybody who needs a 10 point failure analysys to disuade them from using Steedas has been hit one to many times with the stupid stick.

Were not sending men to the moon, were simply trying to decide if an extra 5 horsepower is worth risking the destruction or our engine when several comparable, but clearly safe options exist. Do we REALLY need to build a case defending Steeda pullies?
