DocHolliday Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 VMP 2.5" SS Race pulley for 07-12 GT500 Supercharger I have been running VMP’s 2.59” stock look pulley for several months, and decided to upgrade to his new stainless steel pulley, primarily for the looks. I decided I would start doing a little under-hood dress up. But, I did pick up about a pound of boost. The pulley I received actually measures 2.52”. The new pulley looks amazing, and is well made just like all of his other pulleys. With the stainless steel I do recommend using a small amount of anti-seize (or other lubricant) on the blower’s input shaft and the bore of the pulley. Stainless steel will seize and bind very easily. My dad worked for 40 years in a sheet metal fabrication shop so I know this, but I tried to press the pulley on without any lubricant anyway, and it seized about a ¼” shy of flush and snapped the small bolt on the installation tool. I pulled it back off and added a little anti-seize, and it went back on very smooth. Now, I just need to keep an eye on it the next few times I drive the car to ensure the anti-seize doesn’t allow the pulley to back off. Big thanks to Justin and BJ for the great service! (Even though I missed the 10% off sale by a couple of days! :-P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Those measurements sure look tight. The pulley looks great. Justin told me that you can put a dab of white lithium grease on the shaft and pulley. The extra grease squeegees right off during installation.
