Default Procharger questions

Okay I have some procharger questions. Piecing together a kit...

1. With a 6 rib kit is a new harmonic balancer needed? or will a stock or 25% u/d crankshaft pulley be fine? Will the belt run right off the pulley?

2. What all will I need for an 8 rib setup if I were to go with that? Is there a special crankshaft pulley you buy?

What all will I need to complete the kit?

you need a j brakcet , intercoolers, or intercooler , new harmonice balancer for 8 rib , dont go 6 rib , i have it and want to change over to a 8 rib setup .

if you go 6 use the stock balancer and the 6 rib bolts onto it .

Here I think this simplifies things some. With 6 rib you need to run the stock balancer.

2 run 8 Rib you must buy a ATI superdampener.

To upgrade from 6-8 rib you need the ATI dampener, crank and blower pulleys and new stand offs.

Hope this helps

Would a 6 rib support 6-8psi?
