Altenator pulley issues
Wondering if any has encountered this problem and if so a solution.
I have an 02 Z06 with a Magnacharger. 3.0 pulley size, pulling 9 lbs boost.
I do HPDE's and have had problems breaking the altenator pulley off the shaft.
So far I have spun 3 pulleys off the shaft this year.
These are aftermarket altenators from Autozone, (lifetime warranty).
Anyways, just wondering if others have encountered this issue and if so, what did you do to fix.

the Cartek unit is a great piece, but overkill in this situation IMO. Plenty of people running a maggie without problems. Now if he were bending the alternator shaft that would indicate too much stress. But a pulley working loose is fairly common on supercharger applications and an easy fix with locktite.
