a&a 8 rib bracket
i just got the a&a 8 rib bracket and flip drive to fix my belt slip issue ..... my question is will the 8 rib bracket fit with a 10 rib crank pulley. i looking ahead to possible blower up grade and rather not have to buy 2 crank pulleys. so would like to just get the 10 rib crank pulley now and get it running now with 8 rib. then pick up related 10 rib parts once riechard can get me my custom lil pulley....

Havent really heard of AA kits using a 10 rib and not even sure it exists. From what I gather Andy has been using the 8 ribs on his high boost setups and hasnt seen the need to increase due to his R/D in his bracketry and system. Others may use it because there systems dont have as much belt wrap so the solution is more ribs. Andy or Steve would be the best person to answer your question.

Yes you can run a 10 rib balancer and only use an 8 rib belt for now. I have several customers running that combo.
I also have a 10 rib 8.0" Innovators in stock if you need one.

yeah that is my plan. i just didnt know if blower bracket (a&a bracket hangs over crank pulley) would clear 10 rib with out spacers . but it won't so i will have to shim it then make spacers. i emailed you last week on pulley. just pm'd you i need to get it ordered
