I got my belt at O'Reillys. I use the 111" w/the Metco's and a 2.8 snout pulley.

have you pined your crank pully yet? I was loosing 2# spinning the crank pully on the crank shaft. It is a good investment.

Nope not keyed. I got mine from magnacharger. It was about $75.00 and took about 20 min to install. I'm willing to bet that is where alot of your boost is going. When I took mine for a test drive after installing the pins it went from where it had been, about 6#, to 8# and held it. But now the damn belt is slipping again and im only getting 6 again.

Yep thats probably why I dont get any belt dust LOL but I am seein 7# of boost with my 3.1 pulley so it don't seem like it could be that bad.

Yeh I tend to agree with you on that...maybe a couple decimal points on the table somewhere but that's it. I had a 3.0 and was getting 7.2#'s.

You drill 2 holes between the pulley and crankshaft and insert the metal dowels.
