just a little info for the vortech guys. if you decide to switch to a reichard ultra grip pulley....it is not a direct fit. you have to clearance the alternator and lower bracket supplied from vortech that the alternator sits on. i just figured id pass this info on. im using a 6 rib 3.4 pulley.

Do you have a pic of the mod?

I am using the 3.60 Pully.

I had no mounting issues w/ it. Although attempting to install a 110.5" Belt (instead of the 111.5 provided with the kit) caused a great deal of swearing.

Although, I did have an excuse to buy a new tool (14" Pipe Wrench) :D ....so....all was good :D

The edges of the Reichard pulley are huge at this diameter. Thus the need for clearancing

Okay...I just checked out www.reichardracing.com (http://www.reichardracing.com). After looking at the pully, couldn't that lip just be turned down a bit on a lathe?

I think I'd rather grind on the altenator a tad, than take a chance on throwing the pulley out of round.

DR told me a 3.3" would be making about 10psi.
