All I have left is that 3.5 6 rib pulley which I was told would be around 8 psi , interested what the op has .

Its a 3.25" pulley 8 rib, but it cane with an aftermarket tensioner system as well, don't know if that makes a difference.

Hi like zo6 said 4.0 or 4.5 would be safe , stick a gauge on it and see what you have.

Tensioner won't matter, nice to have a good one though , has yours got any numbers or letters stamped into it ?? Like ECS?



I notice kb site has had a revamp and there is no info on the c5 corvette kit now.

Its been sitting for 3 years so it definitely needs an oil change, has that bottle and some redline fluid but I'll probably just buy new stuff.

Can I sell the pulleys I have? Do they work on other stuff, I'm sure they do but.

True, ive had the car for 3 months and said I was staying bolt on until next tax season. Looks like the 3.75 is around 9-10psi. Do they make an 8 rib 4"?

Not that I was ever tracking. 4.0 wouldn't really require an 8 rib.

Whatever happened to Jeff from out west?
Wasn't he the one who convinced KB to do a kit?
He was a dealer for a while.
Haven't seen him post in ages.

Hi this may be of interest if you didn't know about it , might not need the info but you might want to tinker at some point




When you do get around to changing the pulley just be aware the pulley bolt is a bit unique , think it had a hole drilled into it from the head right down and out the bottom to act as a breather.
