I'm in need of an 8 rib conversion kit for my truck. I've got an ATI superdamper on there right now that is stock size 6 rib. I want to go with an 8" and get the other pulleys in 8 rib as well. I think I have a source for the supercharger pulleys. Does anyone make a kit for my application? I've found LS1 kits but none for GM trucks. 6.0L block with stock 2002 accessories.

We make the 8 rib tensioner pulley in 6061 billet....has the higher lips on to prevent belt loss.

 

yeah, found that the day after i posted this. Not sure what my needs are yet. MIGHT want/need an 8" balancer to get to the boost/power level I want. Won't know till the kit is on and tuned. I'm diggin the idea of billet pulleys.

 

this isn't an immediate plan. my intentions are at some point to spin the blower as fast as i can. It can be spun to 18,500rpm. The only way to get there without going smaller than a 3" blower pulley is to run a 8.75" crank pulley.

would running a crank pulley that size be a bad idea? who could/would make one that size in 8 rib? could I run a smaller blower pulley, maybe 2.5"?

 

You are better off running a larger crank pulley, than going smaller on the blower pulley. The smaller blower pulley would give you less belt wrap (belt contact) and can lead to slippage problems. ASP makes one off pulley's for people. Bob

 

We run Innovative overdrive crank pulleys.The shop thats doing your truck should be able to take care of this.

 

yes, and they offered, but, I needed the truck back by April 17 because the lease on my Murano is ending. Time simply ran out. Now it's in my hands. Actually, I will have the truck tomorrow.

 

I am running the Innovative 8" and the Revextreme billet pulleys.

 

is it Innovators West?

 

I called ASP, interesting conversation, lol. Not worth posting

 

nice edit...I've done the same thing before...after typing it when pissed...

 

lol, thank you. did you see what i initially wrote?

 

I would assume so. Innovators West yes....

 

Were working on the Kenne Bell pulleys now.

 

very cool. i'm pretty sure the truck pulleys are different than the vette pulleys though.

 

But the blower pulley is the same.

 

Yes you are.....

 

any update? Also, this my sound like a dumb question but are the 2 extra ribs in the front or rear? i presume they are in the front.

Also, what about the water pump pulley? I'd want to run a smaller one to be able to clear a 8.5" crank pulley. Anyone have thoughts on that?
