    so I have all the 8 rib pulleys and just need the 8 rib crank to make my setup complete... my question is... which one should I get?

    SFI - 8 Rib SFI Balancer #

    W Body Store

    Im leaning more toward the Wbodystore one as shipping through them would be free right now...

    thoughts? experiences?

    thanks,

    -Jarred

    Get the sweet billet overdrive one and don't second guess it. Seriously.

    because its a billet masterpiece. i also dont think the weighted part of it is rubber anymore, so it's no longer a wear part.

    If I had the money I would have gone with the billet one. But I got the powerband one for a good price and don't have any problems with it. If you want a smooth 3.5in idler pulley its from a dodge ram. Gave me more wrap but I'm also on Bonnie tensioner.

    its only a 5% increase on the SC part, the accessories part is stock size. im pretty sure anyways.
