8 rib upgrades
I have a Eforce blower, i would like to upgrade to 8 rib. I see many options for 8 rib pulleys for the power steering and alternator out there. Has anyone tried some of those random LS pulleys? Is a decoupler pulley important enough to stick with that type, or just use a solid pulley?

Looks like Innovators West has a complete kit minus the supercharger pulley: LS1/2/3/6 Corvette 8-Rib Drive Conversion Kit with Damper
Not sure what you mean about a decoupler pulley.
Now if you have either a Z06 or a GS with manual transmission, you would need their kit for the LS7 cars (dry sump cars).

I don't think the alternator is a clutch type. It spins all the time otherwise it would not provide power and would drain the battery. Now the AC compressor is a clutch type pulley but it is also on its own separate belt so doesn't need to be upgraded.
