Reichard Racing 8-rib setup? I've noticed that of few people here are having good luck with this setup. How much was the complete 8-rib Procharger setup? How long did it take to get it? After reading frcefed's post on the cog setup I think the 8-rib might be for me.

I got some 8 rib stuff for sale.....
A 11-12psi setup with my ASP 7.85" 8 rib crank pulley, and a 3.6" RR blower pulley.......this should work well
Also have a 3.3" RR blower pulley, but had slipping issues with this one with my setup...........saw 14psi then took a dive.......
PM or e-mail me if you have any ?'s

I might hit you up on the 3.3 blower pulley. I'll let you know. Didn't you have some issues with the belts using that setup? Just curious. Which route are you going with now? N/A? Nitrous?

Going to a COG pulley setup for 15-16psi....
With an 8 rib you start to have problems hitting the PSI I want, ScottWS6 is the only one I know of whos making his 8 rib stuff work well at high PSI
My 3.3" pulley saw 14psi with my motor behind it, the PSI dropped after a few runs, belt burned up......

I make 16 psi on my set up. but I would go with a 8.5 crank 8 rib like me. I run 8.5 crank wit a 4.25 blower pulley. I got my crank pulley and tentioner from asp. I was Reichard racings test vehicle and jimmies stuff is top notch

Yea, if I had to do it over again, I would of gotten a bigger crank pulley, but the 7.85" & 3.6" I have currently is good from 10-12psi.......after that the blower pulley gets too small and the belts burn up
