Default Reichard Racing pullies?

I've been thinking about using these "non slip" pulley's from Reichard Racing and was wondering what kind of results you have with them. Some people say they work great-while others say they chew up belts pretty quickly. What results have you guys had?

Thanks!

I had a custom RR pulley made a few months ago, and it's worked out GREAT!!!

They are a small shop, and very busy, so be persistant and patient... Well worth the wait! I picked up 60 RWHP on top due to previous belt slip!

I think they are great pullies but inconsistant. The first one I have worked flawlessly. The last one I received the grooves were to shallow to where the belt actually set higher than the lips on the pulley and at high rpm the belt would jump and get shredded. It took 3 belts and a seized ( had to be rebuilt blower) so i went back to the ATI pulley for now

5 weeks, I think we waited more like 2+ months to get it uncompleted. We have switched our pulley supplier since. Now we get them in days, not months.

I have one (3.40"). 3K miles and no sign of belt shredding. Very happy with it.
