Asp Pulley On Back Order

I weighed all three of em on the same scale and that is how it panned out. Scale could always be wrong though.
End result is more rotaiting mass = less power. Does not matter how you dice it.
Hell goin to e-fans gives more power right. That fan setup only weighs like 4-5lbs total and you get a nice gain by lossing it. Most guys gets about 3 tenths from goin to e-fans.
So yeah i think even a 1-1.5lb differance would be enough for me to never buy the powerbond.
Will you feel it SOTP maybe maybe not but the ET at the track is what matters the most not how much of a gain i can feel.

BTW I weighed the 2 pulleys on a bathroom scale so it may be off and the ASP weight I got from the website..

I am not trying to get in a pissing match with you, just a healthy debate. I did track test the pulley change only... I ran basically the same times (9.47 in 40* pre pulley vs 9.49 in 83* post pulley 1/8th) with the powerbound pulley... So to me it did it's job...

I have the ASP on both of my trucks but it came on the rcsb already so i only got to track test the instal on my ecsb which went .14 faster in 9degree warmer air and it was more humid than before as well. So i know it gained a decent jump from the swap ya know.
I also weighed all three on a bathroom scale but it's a 130dollor scale and digital. So it may be off at such low weights but i would hope not for what that damn thing cost haha.

Not trying to stir the pot here, cause I see it on both sides.....Both pullies should show gains over the stock pulley, no doubt, albeit, minimal gains at best either way. With the powerbond being heavier, it will not provide MAX gains like what the vast majority of us on this site are looking for, especially for paying the $200+ price tag for a pulley that might net 5-12 RWHP. If I'm paying that much for a minimal mod, I want the lightest I can get and the most net gains....It may be nit-picky over an extra 1.5+/- pounds, but like always said, every little bit counts.
But thats not knocking the powerbond unit, looks like a solid piece, and should show gains over stock like BlackGMC said.

Plus if i'm doin mods for more power i'd like to get that extra 4-5hp.

No, there is not another pulley that will gain as much as an ASP, but the difference in a powerbond and ASP would be so little that it could not actually be measured due to a few hp variance in dyno numbers from run to run. 1-3hp max due to the rotational weight. Again, the pulley swap isn't about rotational weight, as something that is only 6 inches across is not going to cause a measurable difference.
