lots of guys out there that got them, I know dtony locally ran his best 1/8 last weekend with his.
I wanted to stop with power mods, but now that I have my car launching straight with only a few changes this will be my next power mod. I will probably not do this until spring since I dd my car and more lowend/ mid range torque would not be good on cold streets and tires.
Any comparision of the 3.33 6 rib vs. 3.15 8 rib. If I am going to change the belt out anyway why not upgrade to the 8 rib while i'm in there.
8 rib 3.15 high traction would be "insane"
also, for the guys that have bought, I could use come cores....
I was finally able to get to the track since installing the waste gate last week.
Well the track wasn't all that great since it was a Diesel truck shootout. But I did manage 1.44 60' times and my best ever 1/8 mile time of 6.26 @ 113 mph. I picked up almost .10 and 3 mph in worse air over my previous best.
Unfortunately I am getting some pretty serious belt slip. It seems the 3.1 pulley and a 6 rib just don't work out. Around 11/12 lbs the boost gauge starts bouncing like crazy.
I was also only able to get one full run due to a new problem with the car. Every pass, almost to the finish line the TB shut and the car died. At first I thought I had a TB issue, but it turns out my stock fuel pump is dying on me.
The car was ran on pump gas with Torco on my street tune with 15 deg of timing. I am running a Boss intake shifting at 7200 in 1st, then 7500 in 2nd and 3rd.
I think once I get the belt slip fixed and run my aggressive tune I can get some 9.6~9.7s out of it.

Are you using the shorter belt and have the idler moved over? I wasn't planning on upgrading do the 8 rib.

Yes, And I Still Slip. I Am Going 8 Rib This Winter.
I remember 2FST 4U was running the 3.1 in the last hole on his car with the stock belt with no slip on the 6 rib. You're in the last idler as well or just one over with the shorter belt?
With The 100" Belt I Am In The Middle Idler Hole And The Belt Barely Fits, Its Extremely Tight. Omar Put Vht On His Belt To Help. I Am Trying That Also This Weekend.
In Reality I Need The 8 Rib. Thats The Right Way To Fix It.
Had one of these setups on the dyno yesterday.
Below is a run with the 3.33 pulley and 9.7lb Wastegate spring on E85 vs another run on the same tune where I pinched the Boost line to the Wastegate to achieve full boost. *Note* I let out early as we ran out of fuel pump. We typically see these setups peak a few hundred RPM higher than the attached graph.
My Impressions:
Sure does give up a LOT of top end power for a small bump in torque. Not an ideal setup for a 1/4 mile drag race IMO.
Otherwise tuning was a breeze.
