The hard anodized in black looks great Victor! Save me a Pulley kit in this color. 
I believe Vadim installed the prototype in raw material form on my 5.7L. This is a high quality pulley and it made my SC scream! Great product!

Glad you guys like them. We are very happy with the way the product came out and I am especially happy that I could keep the 2piece design and still keep the price point low.

No worries Keith.. We will put one aside for you.
Let me just say that the pulley is the biggest you can buy...
Its 175mm.

We've got a dealer down in North Carolina (Curt from CW Performance)... Not sure how far you are from him but you have local support now if you want to go mod-crazy.. 
P.S-> He is building a VR700 S55 for one of his customers down there. Heads just arrived today. Go take a peek if you are close.

BTW, just wanted to add a bit more info...
These pullies are all serialized and are SFI approved like I mentioned in my original post. We could have made them cheaper and skipped the SFI certification but this was the best way to offer this product.
If another pulley you have seen on the market claims to be SFI certified and is not accompanied by the sticker (like you see below) and does not have a unique serial # assigned to it, it most likely is not certified.

Looking forward to seeing the dyno vs. an ASP pulley as I assume the boost will be slightly lower, IATs slightly lower and if it weighs less it could make more power? I bought my pulley from Hennessey...is that the ASP pulley? I think it is 178mm.

I previously had an ASP pulley setup and am going to be getting my car back from VRP tomorrow with the new pulley installed (and a few other goodies).
I will try and getting some dyno time sometime next week.
I can't wait

For 1, it is easier said then done trying to find a DYNO jet in my area (CA valley).
For now, I am having mixed reviews with the new pulley design compared to my old ASP setup.
Has anyone (including VRP) done any dyno testing with this new design? I have yet to see any comparison graphs???

I haven't even taken ownership of an E55 yet, and I can already see my bank account getting sucked dry when I do. Great looking parts as always, and a great price. You guys definitely do it right!

Well, my setup is nearing completion and my mixed review are NO LONGER. The new pulley set-up is working out beautifully. I have been working w/ Vadim to get everything firing on all cylinders.
I have the new pulley, shorty headers and ECU and am very happy with the setup.
I will post a new thread with more details.
