Later in a post I had made about it Bone said it could have been cause by the cranke pulley it self. Like I said it is hard to prove a pulley could miss up a motor; but on the other hand if there is a chance of it missing something up only to gain .0001hp I would rather not trust it. Like anything on the internet take it with a grain of salt is all I can say .
I do want my setup to last. I was researching Fluidamper and ATI, but they are not available for the D series. I have 2 other pulleys and one of them is from a Z6 I believe. I might just try that.
Im going to go snap some pics of the head I just bought. It had already been ported.

Ceramic coating looks really nice Joe...I should give you the H22 turbo mani and have it coated
That pulley, if its going on the Alternator...probably wont do anything...but if it isnt balanced, it will screw up the bearings in the alt.

if it is a crank pulley, I wouldnt use it either.

And the crank pulley was given to me, I thought it was OEM. Oh well, I have another one that looks like a D16 pulley. Ill take some pics and you guys LMK.
Here are the pics of the head I bought.
