Jack am curious on how you drive with your 95mm pulley
Do you do what Texas jack suggested keeping the rpms lower in the first 3 gears then go all out to 8700rpms in the rest?
You've put a good amount of miles on that pulley w/ street encounters..
I am only asking cause I might want to slap on my 90mm depending on your answer.

So if I use my 100mm pulley I could shift early for the first 3 gears to around 8100rpm, then go all out to 9000 for the rest of the gears?
I have a AP1 btw...I blew my charger running the 100mm on the AP1 last month, so now I am using the 110mm pulley.

I was responding to whether my water pump pulley was OEM. My supercharger pulley is a 90 mm and my tensioner is not the KW one.

Thoughts on the load your "improved" tensioner places on the drive the KW-supplied one? I'd be willing to bet there's a difference.
Regardless of the reason, I'm sorry to hear that happened--it sounds like it was a mess and it will cost quite a bit to fix correctly.
It seems like many of the Honda parts operate on a safety factor of 2 or slightly better. It appears OJ went with a less conservative number, ie 1.5 or something, and several owners have now pushed it over the edge and broken pulleys. I wonder how few/many of them were using the kit as delivered vs with slight modifications that increase the loading on the pulleys.
Where's Goddard now? I'd bet he'd enjoy reading these threads, as this (the pulleys being undersized) is something he was preaching for quite a while.
