Default crank pulley concerns

so, reading the thread here makes me worry even more. I have a powerbond pulley and was going to put it on, but I hear about all these horror stories about the aftermarket pulleys eating timing chains. I have to much $ in my motor to chance it. Anyone here track your car with a PB? And no, i dont want to hear about your other brand ATI's....Im curious about PB.

Thank you

You're looking for folks to tell you a Powerbond is OK. The fact is that the forum consensus gathered from real world experience and from top tier tuners like Katch is stock or ATI only. Sell the powerbond on here in the parts forum and buy a 10% underdriven ATI and be done with it.

The powerbond may be fine, but you're not going to find a large enough sampe size on here to make any meaningful decisions.

Yes they're all have a keyway; they use a horizontal pin. You drill your crank snout with their specific drill kit.



Here you can see the keyway
