I'm suffering from pully slip on my KB and would like to know if someone has changed over to a 8 Rib belt?

The guy on here and Corral that did the custom air to air on his KB is running an 8 rib setup I believe. Do you have sufficient belt wrap?? Keep in mind, some slippage is normal and necessary on KBs.

What size pulleys are you using and is there better than a 1/2 wrap on the snout pulley?

I'm using all the stock pullys and a 2.375 Diameter blower pully and i have at least 50% pulley wrap.
