Ive been pondering this myself. Seems the best route is to leave the stock pulley and go the 178 crank pulley route. With parts becoming harder to source and the years pile on having your an A/M blower people slice everything apart sucks.
Can the OEM pulley be shaved down to become a smaller pulley or is that not recommended? Im thinking maybe it would be best so shell out the money for a new OEM blower pulley shave it down to a 65mm to avoid the over spinning of your accessories with the 178 if that is even possible.
