      Alm. will start to warp when it gets hot, so I always used steel, the guys where I bought my pullies from always said to go with steel.

        A solid aluminum pully will never see enough heat in the engine bay to warp.

        Now if the pully was not solid then maybe...

          Thats what ASP racing told me, I believe in AZ it would get hot enough to warp easliy.

            I also hear that steele grips the belt better whereas aluminum would slowly/gradually wear out and the grip gets more loose.

            Anyway, thanks for the input. Steele is a bit expensive but I think I'll go for it.
