Anyone with Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger going through alternators every few months?

If any one is looking for a replacement alternator pulley for a Edelbrock E-Force supercharger kit 2005-2009 Mustang GT you can use a under drive pulley from a BMW M3 it's a direct fit extended shoulder 6 groove pulley use red locktite a lock washer and impact the nut on.

This is excellent info if it has been tested, the pulleys are getting more difficult to find from E-Brock.... Irony is do you really think Edelbrock is over spinning the alternator on purpose, consider all the other pulleys that are changed with the kit and overall length of the belt before making the assumption that is the issue.... The HOPEFULLLY upgraded tensioner (if you installed it right) and the force the blower adds to the entire equation is a source of failure, but I'm willing to bet 9x out of 10 it's either some alternators don't like a reverse spin, OR THE KIT WASN'T INSTALLED PROPERLY... OEM Ford alternator 800WRHP on E85 2.75" pulley still fine after many miles.... Wore the belt out, alternator is fine....

Food for thought my family,
