Supercharger Pulley Revision

I know only one company makes supercharger clutched pulleys. Have all the issues with the pulley been sorted out? Seems like a number of members have had issues with them but no response from the vendors themselves besides we will replace it. Would like to avoid having to fix everything when the supercharger pulley lets go. It appears some people have no issues and others have not. Wanted to pull the trigger on one but with so many people having so many issues I am having my doubts.

Personally I am going to stay away from the S/C pullies, I thought about getting one to add on to the 185mm ASP welded crank pulley I have, but with all the issues surrounding them I have decided to pass. I wish there were more manufacturers making parts for this platform, but considering its age etc., I doubt the aftermarket will get much better.

Agreed, I think I may just go headers tb route and get a couple more hp out of it. It's honestly plenty fast as is. Much faster then the m5

Add in a quality methanol kit like the Aquamist to keep the IAT's in check and I'm sure it will scream
