Anyone bought from smoothflow Pulleys?

I bought the 2.8in pulley from them about 2-3 days ago and i didnt hear anything from them yet. I got a receipt from paypal but nothing confirming from them. i was wondering if anyone knows about how long it takes for them to send out the pulley and how do i get there number i looked on the site no number. I e-mailed them but never got anything back.

Well, I had the same deal as you, and I never heard back from him....but I did get the hub I ordered, but it took a week and a half. And then when installing the hub it damn near too tight of a fit, and that's coming from a machinist lol....but that's just my experience. There is plenty of others who have had positive.

a buddy of mine is a machinist/metal fab tech as well and had no prob gettin the hub on. He found it easier to remove the snout of the s/c so he could use the press with ease..

Nate at Smoothflow is a great guy!!

I had a problem with a couple pulley bolts breaking (probably due to myself) and he pressed off my old hub and gave me a new hub for free because of this..

He's local to me, literally 3-4 miles away and been over there a few times for pulley's very nice guy

Yeah we had to do the same, remove the snout to avoid pressing bearings through the entire S/C I really do think his tolerances were off though, but hey I'm driving ain't I?!

You would be amazed how tight it has to be to hold properly. That's why it's best to use a supercharger pulley puller/install tool like this one I make!

yes 10-4 to all that Nate is #1 in my book. The pulley hub must be a tight fit. we put the s/c in the freezer over night, the hub in the oven, and then assemble works great..
