Default procharger with 6 or 8 rib belt

if i have the room in my chevelle(corvette acces drive setup) i might use the corvette procharger setup, with the intake facing the core support-i know the stock setup uses the 6 rib, wonder if its worth upgrading to an 8 rib-
with the 12 rib setup on other cars, i had trouble with slippage in the past, but with the good wrap and spring idlers, lower boost might not be a problem
with a 6 or 8-what are you guys experiencing with the ls setups
(i have had over 10 procharged cars, so im pretty fam. with the prochargers,
but mostly the rib setups and gen 1, & b/b's) i will prob run a carb at first
thanks

Take a look at the GTO 8 rib set-up, as I think you would have room for it without hacking anything up.

I think its really best to go 8rib and then you are done even if you are at low boost
