    Most people run AL104s without any issues on a 3.4 pulley.

    I believe a 3.2 pulley is when you want to drop to AL103s.

    Copper plugs for modding...replace the 6 plugs for a buck a piece...vs. the what...6 or 7 bucks A PLUG for iridiums?

    Buy some more AL104's and gap them at .050"...done and done.

    start at .050 then move up to .060 till it starts missing, then tighten it up a bit.
