Default ASP OverDrive Pulley

Is anyone running a 25% underdrive crank pulley/balancer with an ASP over drive alternator pulley?

I can't offer much help other than suggesting you do some more research on ASP pulleys. Although there was never a definitive conclusion, several C6s with timing chain failures were running ASP pulleys.

Ha most likely not. The harmonic balancer but ASP brand none the less. There were enough instances for me to stay away from ASP pulleys in general. Like I said I can't offer much help, and know nothing of their alternator pulleys, but I yanked my ASP balancer for an ATI. Do any other companies offer alternator pulleys? What brand underdrive pulley do you have?

I'm not sure any searches I have done always yielded the ASP or the generic EBay from China. I currently have the Summit brand underdrive pulley with an ARP bolt and it's been fine.
