I just bought a Vintage Air unit, and in my opinion it's an excellent unit. The Wegner is great bang for the buck, the Billet Specialties and others are nice too, but it depends on the look you're trying to achieve. I was going for a more OEM look without the polished pieces. Wegner also fits that bill. Here's a pic of the VA unit, pic isn't good but gives you an idea.

I like the Sidewinder that ATS puts out. I'd call Tyler and see if he has one in stock. If not it might be a bit of a wait on the back order.

Im looking for black, no polished stuff for me. That said I want to be able to tell I have aftermarket pulleys. The Wegner looks so basic without a lot of detail. Thats too bad about the synister , it looked sooo nice!

My preferences are the ATS setup, the Vintage Air setup, and the Wegner setup.

All offer very good stable and proven bracket setups and look very "purposeful" to me.

If you only take looks into account, I put the ATS kit taking the top place for looks (the spoke-style pulleys are great!), with the Vintage air setup 2nd and the Wegner 3rd.

Synister is/was having supply issues and the Billet Specialties setup just looks too "Street Rod" looking to me.

I have a Vintage Air setup for my TT LS2 myself... I wanted an ATS setup but simply could not justify the price (sorry Tyler!)

I say go with the VA unit as shown above. Decent price, great quality and support and it looks really nice without the "bling" factor. That setup Jody has is about what I am shooting for on my big block if I can. Just my.02

yeah i agree the ats sidewinder is my faviorate setup and sounds to be perfect for what you said you wanted: not blingy but notable aftermarket...

you also gotta take into account that with tylers kit its truley complete and comes with all the top end acc, not just cheaper ones to soley "complete" the kit.

Wegner, VA, DSE, Zoops, all good kits. Pick one you like and just make sure to stay with a kit that uses factory stlye belt tensioner to prevent pre-mature accessory failures.
