Default Out of the loop for a while... pulleys?

Hey everyone!

So I'm contemplating throwing my hat back into the Crossfire ownership ring. Since my last Crossfire was a SRT, it's almost a given that my next one would have to be as well (now that I've tasted that speed).

Which brings me to my main question -- which pulleys are still available these days? I popped over to Eurocharged and saw that they have both 62/65mm pulleys (interestingly enough, the 62 is now steel... mine was aluminum back in the day).

Are 181 and 185 crank pulleys still a thing? I seem to remember one of them didn't have the pin which held it in place... it could turn into a grenade at high RPM (and did in several MB vehicles).

My biggest issue with my last SRT was belt slip (even with the LM21 wrap kit). But, I was using an aluminum 62mm pulley, and steel grabs better than aluminum. I lost a lot of top-end power due to belt slip.

I plan on staying with the stock injectors, and just upgrading to the SL55 Pierburg pump. So, realistically a 65mm S/C pulley or ASP 178 would be the most-likely candidates.

Thanks,
