Default Reichard 3.7" pulley

I would like to try this pulley to get 8# with my 6 rib setup before spending the big bucks on a 8 rib setup or SDCE tensioner. Any thoughts? Anyone have one to sell?Thanks

go 8 rib ANYTHING and be done with it.

The 6 rib stuff sucks....god knows I spent a ton on trying to make it work.

Went SDCE and had no problems at all making boost.

The RR pulleys will chew up belts or had a rep for doing that when I was procharged.

frcefed98, I really know 8 rib is the right way to go , I just don't have $1K+ to spend right now. I was hoping Reichard could get me by for now.... Would like to hear from someone who used one. Thanks

its 6-7 hundred, I tried running a reichard racing pulley and all I did was tear belts up, did not solve the belt slip issue, I know you dont want to hear this but get the SDCE and be done with it
