The pulleys from ATI are $80ea through us, we have not seen much belt slip if proper actions have been taken.

The inlet on the fbody is not ideal in the endeavor to push past 12-14psi. It becomes a HUGE restriction that causes belt slip and in some cases, blower cavitation. For this setup i would reccomend a 4" elbow (metal) to run instead of the inlet hat.

they are custom polished cnc'd pieces. I might run the 2.65 pulley for a little extra boost in midrange.

last night it was cold as hell out, my car boosted to 14 lbs, it was running hard!

put a 2.75 pulley on it!

that pulley wont shred a belt, it just grips it better. I think I'm gonna add one just for bling factor but slightly smaller for the boost to come in sooner. My car is hella fun to drive now, just point and shoot and hold the fawk on!
