Just wondering if a 8 rib setup was used on some vehicles. Mine is a 6 rib and I am interested in going to 8. Thanks

I am not sure why you would want to do so, and I have not seen this done.

(Evidently the new ZR1 has an 11 rib setup, but that is because of the supercharger.)

The only "8rib" setup I have ever heard of on our cars was for a procharger setup. Not for the regular accessories.

I have been running a powerdyne belt drive supercharger with the stock 6 rib. I am replacing it with a Scorpion XB supercharger. I had hoped I might get larger pulleys from another application to increase belt area. The vortech setup is in a different location, so some of that setup will not work for me.
