Give ECS a call.
I have a ECS Novi 2000 kit (forged 427) with the eight rib. What did you mean the 6 rib is safer? Should I be concerned?

I'll get a little belt slip at high boost. Maybe it will hold my stock bottom end a little longer! Dont be concerned. With the 427, you need the 8 rib. I am going to need the 8 rib soon also.
