Hurry up i need to see it work before i spend the big bucks on that conversion
I don't blame you one bit bro, no sense in anyone else shelling out the $$ until it's sorted. It is an expensive upgrade

However, if you just ordered the crank damper you could run that as a 6rib up to and if you did the full conversion

Where did you get the damper from? Is it worth just changing to that style damper, for longevity?

About 33.33333333333333333333333333333333% to be exact. I look forward to see how much more you get. You need to do a pull on the dyno with a 6 rib on the 8 rib pullies as well.

what if I do the 8 rib pulley swap, then just run a 6 rib belt for one pull and switch to the 8rib for the next. Could we all agree that this would be a fair comparision?

another note, the freaking 8rib belt is $10 cheaper than the 6 rib!

Yeah, that is what I was talking about.
I wouldn't do it until you had the smallest pulley on there you are going to run. basically, I'd want to make sure that the 6groove has it's best chance to slip. I'd be sick after all that $ to not see a gain.
