Just peak in the engine on the sides if you see shiny headers than you got headers and check the pulley visually

Aftermarket SC pulley is the lighter color. It could also have a diff crank pulley, but I don't have a pic for that.

This wouldn't happen to be the one in Atlanta- silver with Volk rims?

If you have had the s/c pulley changed for a smaller one, then suspect it may also have had a remap. The two together can release another 50-70bhp if done properly by a known good remapper like Eurocharged.

Crank pulley changes are usually done instead of a s/c pulley. The belt will have been changed to a shorter one when the s/c pulley was done.

Sounds like you have a slip from 2nd to 3rd. Have it scanned by a reputable shop and they can pull up the SLIP ratio between shifts. The PCM/TCU trys to get it into gear within a specified time but if the clutches are burned or worn this time will be exsessive because the TCU can not compensate for it. Hopefully that is not the case.

Are you looking at the supercharger bearing? If so, mine says made in japan as well. It may be a OEM SC pulley with a new bearing inside.

Nachi in Japan makes the stock bearing. Excellent quality, and much better than the no-name crap on the 'bay. If you were to replace it, you would want to go Nachi.
