Any site administrators reading this that could tell me why my "upload from URL" fails every time? Anyways, here's the URL that I couldn't attach, you'll have to look at it seperately.

Specs:
192mm crank, 97mm water pump. 116.25" 7 band belt (took me FOREVER to find one that fits! Special ordered it from NAPA, not a regular stock item, nothing even close to fitting comes in 8 band). Pulley made from stock E320 (6 band) pulley, that weighs considerably less than the 8 band stock AMG pulley. Then used an aluminum ring around the shaved stock pulley. The aluminum is really lightweight, and total weight of the pulley was less than 9 pounds, which is over a pound heavier than stock, BUT is half a pound LIGHTER than the smaller ASP pulley! You'll notice the outer ring of the aluminum is extended to allow for 7 or 8 band belt clearance. Everything spins completely smooth, no wobbling, and I calculated a 24-25% overdrive on the supercharger pulley.
