[QUOTE="gimmie11s, post: 14936411, member: 17953"] Gears. My car is a brembo/3.73 car and the gears coupled with the 6 rib belt was a bad combo. The 3.73s and MT82s gearing make for a car that revs extremely fast.... bitchin for N/A but not ideal when belt traction is critical. I dropped to 3.27s which allowed the motor to rev a bit slower letting the blower pulley keep pace with the rest of the engine. The correct belt is also critical. I ended up running the 99.4" belt (forgot the part number) with the 3.33 pulley and a home made torque booster. Car absolutely hauled ass. If I did a Paxton again, it would absolutely be 8 rib and nothing less. 8 rib and some tall freeway gears will make for a FAST Paxton car. Either that or I'd go Vortec v3 and stay 6 rib and a small pulley. The smaller compressor on the v3 is easier to spin leading to fewer issues with belt slip-- the trade off is the v3 maxes out around 750-800 whp. [/QUOTE]
