dougwg , the wording of my posting So-Called, simply means that this Sand Blasting of a Pulley type procedure you speak of will not hold up, nor will it last. Do not take my word for it, as ask any Thermal Engineer, that has a degree, that Specializes in Metals and Numersous Friction Properties, relating to this procedure and he will explain it in more detail, as this procedure has been tried and tried before, but certainly will not last. This is and always will be a temporary bandaid in "Helping" not "Preventing" any and all belt slippage problems on any supercharger pulley application. :nono:

Doug, I got news for you,my DUB Non-Slip Pulleys DO NOT Shred belts and never will. As for my pulleys and reputation in the pulley market place today my company is still way ahead of your Newbie Status and always will, especially when we specialize in more than One Vehicle, like your does.
Your Lies and Deceptive practices will eventually catch up to you one day Doug, as you can fool some of these kids in here, but surely will never be able to do it to the people in the know, that know ho you operate your business, to get what you want. Personally, I consider this my last post on this particular posting of someone needing help with a belt, not to see two vendors hashing it out.
Be Professional here Doug and let the public buy what they want to and Quit putting down others companies, as you are not King of the Hill here and will never be either.
In closing, I would highly suggest, if anyone has a problem with one of my pulleys, then by all means, please contact me, to make it right, instead of being lured into buying someone else's pulley , without giving that vendor an opportunity to make it right!!
Now, I am backing out of this Childish Thread and concentrating on myself getting back to Florida , after this Hurricane Ivan and now Tropical Storm Jenne pass through or around Florida.
this is funny. lol. Go get em' Doug.
choad I think you'll need around a 79" belt, but don't take my word for it.

Choad,
Sorry, but I cannot answer your question about the belt size as I do not make lower pulleys, nor do I sell them. Terry on the other hand does and he decided not to help you when he should have been able to. Instead he decided to call BS on what I was saying. I was addressing the part of you're post that was directed straight at me… you even stated my name.
WYD_TRKR,
I'll go home now and work on my response
I'm also getting tired of you’re pathetic attempts to gain sympathy because you live in Florida.... it has no bearing on this discussion

First, I would like to say that I apologize if I am out of line. It is not my intention to offend anyone. This is just an opinion from an outsider looking in on this argument.
I wasn't going to say anything, but Doug, you really should try to treat some of your customers better. For example:
I cannot believe the first thing you said to him was "you think because you drove somewhere. . blah. . .not even gunna go there" I cringed when I read that. How can you do that to a paying customer??
Listen, you are entitled to your opinion, it is a free country. You are entitled to think "just because this guy drove far to get here doesn't mean I am going to give him special attention" There is nothing wrong with you feeling that way. BUT. . .you shouldn't actually TELL him that! Thats the worst thing you can do for your company. Even though SVTChoad may be wrong, you should still try to accommodate him.
And then you say:

I know that you should treat all your customers equal. One customer shouldn't be more important then another because he lives further away or because he spent more money. But c'mon, if you have a customer that drives a couple hundred miles just to get some advice from you, the least you could do is help him out.

That is just a slap in the face. I cannot believe you would say that to someone, especially a paying customer. That comment was sarcastic and you know it. You wrote it like that on PURPOSE, you knew exactly what you did. I can't stress enough how sarcastic and arrogant that comment was and I can't believe people stand for it.
Again, I can't believe you would make a post that is so childish.
Believe me. It is in no way directed at you.
Well, I talked with Doug and he gave me a better explanation for his post.
Doug - sorry if I was too quick to judge you. Like I mentioned in my post, I was just giving you an opinion from someone who didn't know the whole situation. But I understand where you are coming from now.

I never said anything about your SO-CALLED DUB.
I was referring to your solid steel no-slip pulleys and you know it!
They are shredding and breaking belts left and right because they are simply MADE WRONG!
What happened? I bet you had ASP make a bunch of them…. they messed up a dimension and you figured you would just try to sell the pulleys anyway, hoping that no one would find out…. well guess what… now you have to do damage control.. That’s real professional!?!?! Trying to sell bad pulleys to these fine people that are cobra owners :nono:
More than one vehicle? give me a break! lololol…
Not only do I make the BEST parts for Cobras but also the Lightning. I also make parts for the Trilogy Supercharged Marauder (look it up). Not to mention Prototype parts for vehicles that are 5 years in advance. Yes, I make prototype parts for Ford and Visteon. I like how you use the term “we specialize” when you refer to SFPHQ. You use that term because you cannot truthfully use the term “Manufacture”, why? Because you make NOTHING! All you do is sell stuff that other people make yet want all of these fine people that own cobras to believe that you are some great specialist. When in fact all you specialize in is sales, because that is all you are, a salesman! :nono:
I HAVE NOT LIED… nor do I ever try to decieve people.
You on the other hand, well I have busted you out on LIE AFTER LIE on this board, time after time yet you continue to lie to these fine people that are cobra owners :nono:
You speak of being Professional… what a joke Terry!
Do you think that selling junk is professional?
Do you think that lying is professional?
cuz if you do… well… I well never be that professional! :nono:
What?... Don’t you read the boards? In the past SEVERAL weeks there have been SEVERAL reports of pulleys, that you have made, shredding and breaking belts.
Do the right thing Terry and stop selling these fine people that own cobras junk. :nono:
It was you that entered this thread and turned it to childish. :nono:
You should also be concentrating on making right the situation that you caused by selling badly designed pulleys to these fine people that own cobras.
And again I say, stop whining about the weather… your not the only one having problem down there… I have many family members down there too. Including my wife’s grandmother, who might I add chose to be brave and stick it out!
In closing, I would Highly suggest, that you get back to work and do the right thing!
This includes but is not limited to:
Stop selling pulleys that are NOT made correctly.
Stop Lying to the members of this forum.
Make a post and have it stickied, that states that SFPHQ is issuing a RECALL on all of the pulley that you have made that are shredding and breaking belts and give REFUNDS where applicable. :nono:
Doug

Again, Doug, I got news for you,my DUB Non-Slip Pulleys DO NOT Shred belts and never will. The DUB Pulley Units are The Original Interchangeable Supercharger Pulley Units, Designed by ME, no one else. NOT an Imitation or Copy of My Design, as your's are!!!!
The people who are having problems with the Steel Non-Slip Pulleys, need to contact me with their problem, as so we can work out a solution to this problem. To date, we have only had 2 incidents of people contacting me about having a problem and we have corrected it, in refunding the money, or upgrading them into our DUB Non-Slip Pulley Unit .
As for my pulleys and my reputation in the pulley market place today, my company is still way ahead of your Newbie Status and always will, especially when we specialize in more than One Vehicle, 17 in fact we have pulleys manufactured for, 10 of these on my website.
Your Lies and Deceptive practices will eventually catch up to you one day Doug, as you can fool some of these kids in here, but surely will never be able to do it to the people in the know, that know how you operate your business, to get what you want.
This never ceases to amaze me, that you still put other companies down, when and if they do have a problem with one of their products and you do not let the other vendors correct the problem, without you constantly Bashing them and Luring them over to your side and get them to buy your product. Talk about Professionalism, this is not the way to run a successful business. Internet or Otherwise!!
In closing, I would highly suggest, if anyone has a problem with one of my pulleys, then by all means, please contact me, to make it right, instead of being lured into buying someone else's pulley , without giving us an opportunity to make it right!!
I do also apologize to all on this Forum, as I do not necessarily post anything derrogatory about anyone, unless it pertains to me or my company. If anthing I have posted in here has caused any Inconvenience or Unpleasantness to anyone individual, including the guy who wanted to know what size belt to use with his application ( 79" Inch Belt was the Answer) then please accept my apology.
This is My Final Post in this Thread.
Okay guys, enough is enough! Let's let this thread die gracefully. It's a no-win situation for you both. ;-)
dougwg
You mention a 8lbs lower pulley. Who sells one? The lagest I can find is 6lbs.
Thanks
Ralph
