Default Couple D-1 ??

Just a couple questions I need cleared up.

1) Now that the D-1 kit comes as a 8-rib set up, does that cure the belt slip problems of the older kits? or will I eventually need the SDCE kit?

2) Now with the 8-rib set up, I'm all confused on the crank pulley / dampener fiasco. I know I will need the crank pin kit, but can I use the stock crank pulley and dampener? or since I'm using an 8-rib kit I will need a new pulley? and does that mean a new ATI Super Dampener?

I think I just confused my self more with that second question

You need to use an ATI damper with the ATI 8 rib...their 8 rib will help with belt slip a little because the pulley is a bit bigger. you are still left with tightening the crap out of the belt and it also requires constant maintenance of retightening and checking. PLUS...you'll still have that annoying blower rattle sound. Our system eliminates ALL the problems of belt slip and bracket flex and it gets rid of the blower rattle.

We are offering introductory prices and GP's on several of our LS1 products and systems...pm me for more details and I'll be happy to answer any quesitons.
