Default Help in the D-1SC ??

What is the difference between the 8 rib from ATI and the SDCE kit for the D-1SC ?

If i have D-1SC 8 rib with 4.0" Blower pulley and 383 engine and only git 6 psi so Is this about right?

If i need 15psi what should i change ?

Thanks

I'm not sure what the spec's are on your cam, but 6 psi of boost with a 4.00" pulley with the eight rib kit seems very low. I would first make sure the blower belt is tight, and also check the bypass valve to make sure it is working correctly. We recently had a new one that was put together wrong, and the blower was bypassing boost all the time. Bob

I think the SDCE 8-rib is spring tensioned while the ATI one is not. Spring tensioned is obviiously better than not because it always compensates for belt slack, stretching, etc...

On my ATI kit it is down by the intercooler on the driver side.It is connected on one end to the inlet hat of the head unit(charger).I can hear mine go off when I let off the accelerator after accelerating very quickly(foot on the floor fun)
