Ideally traction wise there should be no/little difference, that being belt wrap around crank pulley remains about the same. Remember water pump is driven of back side of belt (not grooved portion).

It really won't have too much of an affect, but if we wanted to split hairs I guess you can say the one with the beefier bearing setup. The less play/give you get in that pulley the truer the belt will run.

Waiting on the Anodizing... it's killing me how long they are taking. Soon.

Hector, I left you a voice-mail message on your cell phone.

I've got flip drive version 1 as well, any news on the upgrade price? I'm one of the people who mentioned that version 1 wasn't compatible with the "clutched" alternator pulley on the Automatic cars.... So I had to come up with a alternator from a manual... I see version 2 will avoid this issue.
