Aluminum underdrive pulleys

Does anyone know who makes them for the 2.8? No nitride or steel, I want aluminum. Thanx

Well....

They're supposed to reduce rotational mass and free up a few ponies. Aluminum ones would be shiny too! Dress up the engine a bit, Alot of 4th gen V6 owners claim a faster tip in too.

So far from everything I heave read, Most V6 owners only do the crank pulley "in underdrive". Stock size aluminum should be out there too.

You could goto your local tech high school and see if they will cut some for ya. Buy the billet on ebay to cut cost. They are usually more than happy to do projects for the community and give them something real to do.
