Don't have any experience with that pulley in particular, but my experience with aftermarket repop pulleys is not good.

Also, HBC doesn't make this stuff. Would be shocked if it is not the identical pulley listed by Camaro Central.

Put out some feelers for an original pulley.

Original would be my first choice, but they are difficult to find and my "disposable income" account is down to dust. My part time job went away 15 months ago. I really need to find another part time "parts" job this winter.

The Pennington F.A.S.T. racing crew has had similar experinces to what was described above with that type of reproduction pulleys. The centers cracked and broke out of them much faster than the original GM pulleys did. Of course, they are making way north of 400 horsepower, but even so, maybe changing them out should just be considered periodic maintence.
