the really really old design was 3 bolt, the new aem is 5 bolt and is supposedly not going to slip.

I believe in the intertune dvd omni shamelessly and extremely obviously put on a paid promotion for a set that they were using that had an additional locking pin of some kind. You might look that up.

However, the AEM 5 bolt if torqued properly should be fine. I haven't seen the fidanza so I can't comment on it right now.

fidanza uses studs screwed in from the back, then nuts to tighten it. this will apply a far greater clamping force than screwing bolts into soft aluminm as must aftermarket pullies are.

though imo, any big name pulley like aem, str, fidanza, and waht not will operate flawlessly as long as u torqe the bolts to spec.

You know what is a VERY good cam gear design? But IMO not too good looking? The Evolution gears. they lock in place so even if 1 or 2 bolts come loose they wont move...
