Default underdrive pulley

Developing interest in underdrive pulleys. Looking at all the research on this and other forums, I should go with Steeda because of the one piece crank design. Outside of the oneforum (where the guy saysthe three screws came loose@1000 miles)regarding the"piggyback" design, What are other related issues? I am questioning because I know someone with BBK pulleys and no issues. But I do like the Steeda brand and if most people say Steeda then it is Steeda. BUT WHY? 99 BLACK GT........................

Steeda's seems to be the choice of most around here...(Myself included). I would also take a look at March. They have a pretty good UDP setup and cost a little less.

The SFI approved damper is the best way to go.

There is nothing really wrong with piggyback pulleys other than the added weight. The bolts won't back out if you loctite them according to the installation directions and they are torqued to the proper spec.

Steeda, just make you you torque them to exact specifications.

I will be going with the Steeda pulleys. You hear everyonetalking, stay away fromthe "piggyback style" and I was just curios why one over the other. Steeda seems to be popular everywhere. Thanks!
