An 8 rib pulley is a wider pulley for people running more boost which tends to cause belt slip with the factory 6 rib. This post has some good pictures:
Lately I've been going straight to 10 rib on all the blower upgrades, since it was such an easy swap I figure why not 12?
So I figure I would show you guys a visual representation of the various widths.
6 rib:
6 versus 8:
6 versus 10:
8 versus 10:
12 versus 6:
12 versus 8:
12 versus 10:
12 versus the rest:
Now 10 rib fits without much messing around, I'm pretty sure 12 will work as well-you will need to get an alignment done for sure after as the rack will be getting spaced out another .5" inch.
The winter projects are already started!
