Pulley Question
I crossed paths with a guy who has a Kleemann Crank Pulley - no belt - for a very reasonable price. It has never been installed. Are these overdrive pulleys fairly "generic" from one manufacturer to another? Assuming, of course, that I mean a reputable manufacturer such as Kleemann, RennTech, EvoSport. Are they generally the same size and offer the same per-cent overdrive ratio? Will I get enough bang for the buck to go with this mod alone, or do I ned an ECU flash to go with it? If it sounds like I should jump on it, do I need a different belt, or is there enough adjustment in the tensioner to use a stock belt? Any and all opinions welcome and appreciated.

Does "ttt" mean "true - true - true"??? I guess that would mean yes to all questions and I should jump on this Kleemann pulley!

PDC, I’d assume you’d either need a larger belt or a reduction in size of one of the other pulleys to compensate. Based on what I’ve found on the forums, it seems like many of the ASP pulley users have been running w/o a software upgrade without a problem. I suggest calling the manufacturer regarding your questions. They should be ready and willing to help you answer any and all questions regarding their product. Cory from Kleemann has been awesome in helping me answer all of my questions.
