Ok guys,

I just stripped out my lower pulley. It does not spin and the crank pulley does. I drive this car a lot and I'm running around with 650+ rwhp / 650+ tq all day on pump.

Question is .. with this kind of power, should I weld my stock lower or go with an aftermarket lower (Metco or what?) or just find another stock lower? I would like to go with a 4lb lower to see what this thing can do but I've read all the controversy over snout stress and I don't want to build this engine again.

So anyone running a welded lower? How about a 4lb with 700/700 (and driving a lot- no garage queen)?

Thanks!
