Default guys with sdce setup chime in please, anyone having any problems?

I am sick and tired of chewing up belts and getting covered in belt dust every time im under my car so the time has come for the SDCE 8 rib setup. I just want to make sure this is my best option before I take my car out of commission for over a week and dump 700 greenbacks on a tensioner. I cant stand not seeing my motors full potential because of belt slip. can you guys that are running this setup please tell me your experiences. also the pulleys supplied with the kit are 7.25 and 3.4, thats not really close to the blowers max impeller speed. will I be good with those sizes or will I want to have a custom pulley made? Im looking to just about max out my d1sc

The 3.4 will be plenty with the SDCE kit, should net you 15-17psi.

You will not be disappointed. Easy install and belts will last for quite a while.

Boost problems, not with their set up.

Ask kp about em or call wendy or scott at SDCE and they'll tell you all you want to know. My car ran perfect with their set up on it. Believe me when I say I tried it all. From the MMS set up to a cog set up and everything in between...nothing worked except for their set up.

I dont think a 7.65 crank pulley will work, maybe a little larger but not that big, spacing is a little different as well on the ATI pulley. 7000rpm with a D1 is maxed out with a 7.25/3.4, you can probably get away with a 3.2 if you really had to and that would max it at 6700rpm. Cant see running even a stock cammed 347 less then 66-66700rpm so that should be plenty. Maybe ask SDCE if they can make you a 7.450 or so crank pulley.

SDCE got me over the 500 rwhp mark fairly easy. No slip at all. SDCE is money well spent IMO.
