I have decided to go mild with a 3.10 RR non-slip upper. I want to keep my stock (chromed) pully guard .I will be using a 4080745 gatorback belt. I plan on replacing the stock lower (the pully on the right side of the crank pully) with a billitflo unit, as I understand this is the one most likley to explode.Of course I will then have the car re-tuned on a dyno by a reputable tuner.

I would appriciate your thoughts. Will be OK in regards to belt slip,etc,etc.Thanks in advance.

he also asked twice for opinions on the set up... letting him know that he has a choice about an idler pulley that actually matchs the blower pulley he is getting is not off topic?

That's a pretty shitty response from a site sponser.

People ask for advice. Advice is given. Then comes the criticism for giving the advice. Sometimes I just don't get it. :shrug:

Would you recommend the 90's, 100's, or a combination of the two for cars with a stock lower and 2.9 upper? I also want to keep the stock pulley guard. I currently have no belt slip without an auxilliary idler.

generally the use of 2 100mm and 1 90mm is used for replacing the stock idler pulleys..the 90mm being used on the passenger side of the motor so it doesnt interfere with the tensioner. you can retain the use of the snout cover as long as no auxillary idler is used..usually the bracket needs the holes vacated by the snout cover

Thanks for the replies....and the extra advise ;-) Actually I plan on just repacing the stock lower (right of and next to the crank pully if you are standing at front of car) This seems to be the only stock pully that has history of grenading. Biilit flow only makes this in a 92mm if I understood coorectly when I called them....Am I on track here???? Thanks again and I promise no more questions from me after this :burnout:
