Default * Pulley Issue *

I have a Reichard pulley on my NOVI 2000, take a look at this belt after about 100 street miles and about 1 dozen pulls up to 120 or so. I was told the Reichard are tough on belts but this belt looks like it's won't take much more. I've been assured it's straight and this is more the norm. Chris is kind enough to send out a flat head pulley which I was told would make less power. Thought??? Posted this also in the C5 forum.

I can't tell if you tore up both side or just the 1. How do the middle ribs look? If it is just that 1 outer rib I would bet it is an alignment issue.

Return back to the pulley that came with the kit and your problems will go with it.

Looks like an alignment issue since it is only eating up the belt on one side.. Looks like it needs to be shimmed out.
