is the Bomz pulley a reputable product? its not the "cheapest" pulley on ebay, and it at least has a brand name. ive heard of bomz before, but i dont have any experience with their pulleys. will i be alright with this? bomz pulley

Im sure lots of folks on here will say not to get it. But its all about how reputable the seller is (Bomz is known, but with us, not that great). Look up their history on these items. Then you decide.

When it comes to Ebay, its hit and miss. Make your choices, take your chances. (not to bash everything on Ebay)

However, I wouldnt go this route for the UD pulley. Id save up for an unorthodox pulley or (in my case) Buy one from a fellow JBOeon

Ask -MD- LD9 about this. He might still be selling them.

If u get Bomz crank pulley make sure u get an AEM alt pulley. I have em on my car and it works great.

The BOMZ is under driven more than I personally like. This is just my opinion, and I am probably bias.
Mastin bought mine, RSM racings, unorthodox, and I believe one other. He compared them all for form, fit, and function. For a non-bias opinion i would ask him. He seems to research every thing he puts on his car. Here is a post he made a little while back.

I think Mastin said it best

Mastin wrote:Yeah,
MDs is the only one that installed like an OEM pulley.

Meaning,
The Unorthodox and RSM pulleys din't require pulley pullers to get on and off.
You could slide them on and off lke water.

Now, that's not a bad thing per se.
But I didn't even notice it until I got MD's

His, like the factory pulley, you have to use (I had to), the pulley bolt to get it on.
And a pulley puller to get it off.
Fitment was nice and tight like OEM.

Weight wise its like a 2-3 oz. diff. Personally weighed on the same USPS scale
RSM underdrive 11oz (THE lightest but my car is an auto and that was just too light for my liking )
Unorthordox underdrive 14 oz
RSM factory size 21oz
MD LD9 custom 23 oz
Factory was 63.6 oz

Only ones I've not tried are the Apex factory sized. Can't remember the weight.
And the ebay/RK geneic underdrive pulley. But I hear that's over a pound and a half.

So if you want factory sized, go for MD's
Hopefully ha has a couple left.

I have a Bomz. I had a 2.3 underdrive before it. It is the same size as a 2.3, and weights less. Works great and I do not have a ALT pulley either. I have a small system, but have had a big system with a 2.3 pulley, and never a issue. For the price I think the ebay puley's are the best option.

i will give you advice. dont bother
1. i put the bomz pulley on my LD9 - didnt make a noticeable power gain
2. it made my belt squeal after i installed it - very annoying
this is why im saying your better off installling i/h/e
