Stainless steel supercharger pulley?

Anyone know where to find a stainless steel supercharger pulley for sale? Or have an existing one of interest to sell?

I have found sources for aluminum supercharger pulleys, but nothing in stainless steel which is superior in terms of better wear, heat, properties.

I may just go with an ASP steel crank pulley if cannot find a stainless steel supercharger pulley somewhere....

thanks

Hey John. I'd go with EC's charger in 61mm. Sometimes they run a special pulley/tune for $750.

Thx Lenin for sening the info on that Karmen stainless pulley. I couldnt find any info on the seller or mfr info so makes me a bit nervous about pulling the trigger on that. looks pretty cool though.

i'll probably go with the 178mm ASP crank pulley and tune. the guys at speedriven in chicago recommended that as a good balance of added power (so i can have some fun) but good reliability with no extra cooling mods needed since this is my daily driving car (with car seat in back for the kido).

cheers

Karmen pulleys are being used by at least a dozen crossfire owners. You can solicit opinions about the Karmen pulley on the crossfire forum. 178mm crank pulley is not a bad choice either. But your car being a kid taxi, I would leave it as is. 349HP is plenty for daily fun. Once you pay for the 178mm pulley plus installation and make a few pulls, you are going to want more but will be stuck with the 178mm pulley. Leave it alone for now or go for tune and the whole 9 yards.
