Not for the f-body anyways. I saw where the corvette got a 10 rib system, but they are different, they use the serpentine belt, they don't have a dedicated pulley.
I bought my P used, turned it into a D, and injested a screw? So it's been gone thru twice, but never for a failure. Bob & the guys at EPP will get you pretty much whatever you need. I put an 8 rib on & it hasn't slipped up to 15 psi. I thought it was, but it turned out I screwed up an IC hose connection & it was leaking.
Pinning the crank is a must, just get some extra bits. And a 12 pk! Oh, and get a solid tensioner for the main belt too (K tech?). I threw mine at the track & it took out the PS hoses. But I have had no issues since.
I am now installing one of EPPs FMICs & twin Walbros. Fuel pressure & air temps ARE an issue when you turn the boost up.
Keep reading here & talk to Bob & you'll be fine.....

Okay lets see, I've had a A,B,S,T,R and a JT trim, Novi 2000, and a P1SC-1, D1SC, some special F1R and my current F1C. PROCHARGERS ALL THE WAY. There transmission just flat out rocks, there impellars are sick-there just friggin awesome!!!!! FWIW, My F1C just made 15lbs of boost on my 402 before my power steering bracket let go-and i'm not even overspinning it!!!!!
Seriously though call Bob@EPP with all you Procharger questions-he's the man!!!! Bob I hear there's F1R heading our way!!!!!!

SD-Concepts- they make an 8 rib kit with a spring tensioner that uses a 7.25" crank pulley.
Not the same as the ProCharger 8-rib kit (which EPP sells). The procharger version does not have a spring tensioner, its a manual tensioner same as the 6-rib kit, just wider pulleys. I am running the procharger kit personally and have not had any problems up to 15psi. I know EPP uses this setup all the time as well with great results. This kit uses a 7.65" crank pulley BTW...

Most people who have the SDCE kit swear by it. I have no problems with the procharger 8 rib, so I'm happy with it. Up to you if you want to spend the $250 (or whatever the difference is nowa days) more for the tensioner system.
Yes- you need the ATI damper with either kit...

BOSS APPROVED! I have been breaking speed laws since March 05. I was slipping with the 6 rib set up. Then I stepped up to the SDCE set up. Thats when all belt slippage disappeared. I have had no issue with my head unit. Change you oil as per Procharger and u should not have any issues.
3 head units in 2 years? Something does not sound right. I am sure it wasn't Prochargers fault either.

I'm one of those customers 
The bigger air filter did indeed get me 1.5~2psi on my old P1 setup. Highly recommended. And at less than $50 it may have been the cheapest mod I've done with the biggest impact!

Since we are also posting about air filters... This is the one I use http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=RF-1004 combined with a FMIC.
