6 rib or 8 rib?
I was wondering what PSI my Vortech V2 supercharger will start to have belt slippage issues? Just trying to get a grasp of what parts Im going to need for my engine build.

Keep in mind alot of belt slip comes from a shot tensioner

Wow.... that's pretty good, I've always heard anything under 3" and it's something to start considering.

I was using an 8 rib set-up with my old Vortech T-trim...I was also using a 2.65" upper pulley!

You can always overdrive your crank pulley as well.

Does this mean you're going to jam moar boost into her? Or just switch around the pulleys?
