I thought the F1R came with its own dedicated belt. Don't go with the 6 or 8 rib, its a waste of time and money. Go with what Blown said or what ATI recommends. If it were me I would go for the gold and just get a cog setup and be done with it! Good luck, I can't wait to see how it does.

I just want a respectable daily driver that can spank most street cars. ![Happy](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

Right on bro!!
I want nothing more than to see you busting out some quick times in that beast. You totally deserve it with as much effort as you have p[ut into it.

I think you're going to need some sort of custom setup to run that F1 blower. I'm sure someone out there could make you up some custom dual 6 rib pulleys for the accessories. Then you can just use two stock belts.

I think ASP can make just about any custom pulley you want.

Then again it doesn't look like that ATI mounting bracket gives any room for wider pulleys in some pics I just looked at. Nothing a couple longer bolts and spacers couldn't fix though.

There are several turbo kits to choose from and the turbos that will fit on these kits could easily supply a 408.![Happy](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
It could be a 9 second truck if done right.![Nod](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)

Hey 2toneblown, more power to you if you can get it to work.
However, I and GMCSKI have both tired to make a decent amount of power with superchargers. Both D-1SC Prochargers. When I did some research, I found that the larger the blower the larger the pulley you could use to make the same boost. Larger pulley=less slipage.
At 509rwhp, on a cam only 6.0 was the limit of the 6 rib belt. With higher boost the belt didn't slip it would just "jump" off of the pulley. IMO you will need more than a 8 rib.
You might try to run 10-12lbs of boost and just spray the rest.
My opinion.
