They are all about the same and require the same amount of work to install. The differences lie in the way that they clamp to the shaft. However, I have yet to have any that I have installed slip so I have no complaints on any of them. Just pick on that fits your budget and run with it.

Thanks man. Asked you so many question, so will just look for a pulley that is cheaper than other. Btw do you need pulley remover or any good work shop can take it off with tools.

A pulley remover is recommended so that the shaft is not damaged in the process of removing it.

So any diffrence in 15% and 17%

[DaFlake]

Try doing a search on this as there are a lot of opinions. All of the questions you have asked have been covered numerous times.

15% safest for WOT

anything above 15 and you have to start to worry about heat soak and cavitation of the water pump at WOT.

What is the weight of the 15% pulley.

[DaFlake]

Varies pulley to pulley

Even if it was that much (which I doubt it is) weight will have very little overall effect on it is it is balanced to spin. I believe that it is lighter than the stock pulley anyhow but I do not have the specifics. I recommend that you contact the vendor with questions like that.

Alta says 1 pound

I recently bought an Alta 15% V1 pulley from Alta directly. It was on sale for a very good price. I have not installed it yet. I asked if there was a performance difference between V1 and V2. They said no. Just a few design concepts they wanted to try out. V2 is slightly lighter than V1 but my guess is V1 is around 1 pound in weight.
