Blower Pulley
Well guys, I should have my new 408 sometime next week!
I am upgrading from a 6 Rib to an 8 Rib set up, my question is that the kit Im purchasing has the 8" Balancer Pulley instead of the stock size, so Im trying to figure out what size Pulley to run on the blower! !
Before with the stock size balancer I was running a 3.7 Pulley on the blower so I need someones experience with this.
Im thinking around 14 - 15 Lbs. of Boost

Well someday should happen before the end of the month because TLewis 8-rib pulley sale is over at the end of the month. I ordered mine yesterday. It's a great deal.
