Difference between 6rib and 8rib ATI.

Well I got my SC at last. ATI sent me the 6 rib setup by mistake and after that they were nice enough to send me the 8 rib conversion free of charge. Man i like companies that stands by their customers. Anyways I will be posting the pictures to show the difference between the two setups.

First thing is the difference between the crank pulley setup on both. Of course u will need the ATI Super Dampener for the 8 rib. I was bored and did assemble the 8 rib setup here to take a pic against the 6 rib dampener. Here is the pic to show the difference

Second picture show the big difference in the contact area of the belt. Look at the difference between the 6 rib belt and the 8 rib belt

Third picture show what is needed to convert the 6 rib tensioner to an 8 rib.

So basically the differences between the two setups are the crank pulley, belts and tensioner. U use the same bracket and same piping.

Here are extra pictures of the whole thing
