[QUOTE="timbo3282, post: 10941108, member: 30499"] I picked up the Metco dual bearing 4 pulley kit for the supercharger belt circuit and boy is it beautiful. So much billet! Not only will I get rid of the rusty ugly stock idler pulleys, but with the extra idler and the better belt wrap on the supercharger pulley I'll have better performance than I would have otherwise - and no danger of anything of the idlers shattering. What damage is done if the idlers explode? Does anyone have a picture they could share of the after effects of a shattered idler pulley? Because the stock accessory belt circuit (power steering pump, water pump, a/c compressor) idler pulleys would have looked even worse with the supercharger idlers replaced I upgraded them with the single bearing Metco pulleys. After talking with the folks at Lethal, they pointed out that the dual bearing pulleys (since they are made for 8 and 10 rib belts) they would be too thick to clear everything they'd need to. Since I am running everything in the accessory drive spinning at stock speeds (I don't and won't have anything on that circuit under driven) the Metco pulleys are really overkill - the upgrade is almost totally cosmetic. The single bearing pulleys will be more than fine - they'll function better than stock while looking great too. I considered going with the Division X idler kit, but since they are relatively new I went with the Metco pieces. I am sure Division X parts are awesome - the pulleys look amazing - the style of the pulley is better looking than the Metco pulleys but I wanted to go with something that has more of an established history. If I did this upgrade in 6 months I probably would have gone with the Division X iron. Up next is a fuel system upgrade and the Division X components will be among the bits I evaluate. [/QUOTE]
