Hopupracing.com has it for 130 shipped. Vividracing.com has it for 119 plus shipping so either way its about the same.

FYI, Agency power supplies ZPI's pulleys. So basically, the ZPI pulley and AP are the same except you can pick different colors with AP.

I'm installing mine tomorrow~

Hope this was helpful.

I would personally go with NST pulleys if I were you. This is by far the best stuff available as far as extra HP goes. Check out www.NonStopTuning.com for all the info

no weights posted as far as I can tell on the NST and it seems to be underdriven

Just an FYI...I met the folks from ZPI last night and they are a good group of people. ZPI supports all of the products they sell, I don't think I can say that for Agency Power/Vivid Racing...

The ZPI pulley is the Agency Power pulley...but ZPI supports the pulley they sell. If you buy the Agency Power pulley, good luck with customer service... *shrug*

After meeting the ZPI folks, I wouldn't hesitate to support them.

So then your post was just to let us know that Agency Power and Vivid Racing have crappy customer service?

Just curious because I have never dealt with these companies. What is your personal experience with Agency and Vivid?

I don't think he is saying they have crappy customer service. He is just pointing out that ZPI has good customer service.

If this isn't a shot at the other companies, I don't know what is. Commenting on the fact that one company has good customer service is one thing. Making comments about other companies is another. If a company is really that good, they should be able to stand on their own. No other companies would even have to be mentioned.

If the remark was meant to convey he had no personal experience with the other companies, and therefore couldn't comment, it should be clarified. If there really is a problem with other companies, he should inform us. Making vague, back-handed comments like he did, with nothing to substantiate what he is saying is absolutely worthless to everyone. All it does is make people like me second guess dealing with the same companies he supports.

And for the record, I have no vested interest in any of these companies. I have never dealt with any of the companies, and have no plans to buy a pulley in the immediate future.

I've personally dealt with Vivid Racing A LOT. They supply me with some of my parts and I have nothing but good things to say about them. They have always worked with me and been there to answer any questions that I've had without hesitation. I would venture to say they support their own products just as much or better then ZPI can/does.

I don't know the specifics, but I believe Agency Power is closely tied in with Vivid Racing. VR has had more than their fair share of customer service issues. A Scion Life member had their VR forum thread deleted and was even banned from the forum for posting the complaint. Vivid Racing used to be a sponser on the NASIOC board until they were banned from the forum. Why they were banned...maybe it had to do with them ripping people off? *shrug*

Also, I've dealt with them before. I ended up not getting the part I ordered because they goofed up and told me the wrong price. I'm not mad since I was never charged, but I would avoid ordering from them...

I believe Chico used to work at VR. There's a thread about how unprofessional VR on SL...search for it.
