i have a chance to buy a 2.9 RR pulley for my vortech and it would be a 6 rib RR pulley and i was wondering if i would experience any belt slip or would i shred belts regularly?? i wanna go 8 rib but i cant find anyone selling an 8 rib for a reasonable price....any help would be awesome!

I have a V-2 SQ-trim with a RR 2.7 6 rib. No belt slip with a 112" napa belt. And over 1,000 miles no sign of the belt deteriorating. Boost comes on hard in the midrange. I'm making 10lbs at 5000 rpm
