I've been using NST pulleys for years with no problems. You can find them on their site, www.NonStopTuning.com

Other than that, a quick search around here will give you a ton of results on arguments both for, and against pulleys. Have fun.

The assumption is of course that everyone from this board has read that. No need to bash Josh; he's providing a link to a less readily available source.

Damn, Josh, do you realize how much of my time I burned reading that entire thread over at yoursciontc?!??

Good thread, with lots of decent information. The folks talking physics, and pulling in multi-order harmonics and the damage they can do, reinforced my prior experience with other engines and the absolute importance of harmonic dampeners.

Only problem is that folks want to believe the marketeers because they want something for nothing.

As an engineer, though, I spent over half a century doing battle with sales types who would basically say anything to make a sale. I won't trust most of 'em as far as I can throw 'em.

(I can't believe I read that whole thing, and don't even own a tC. :D )
