Yes 8 rib. IW 25% crank pulley and a 2.8 on the nose of the blower. (non-jackshaft blower)
I don't remember what the belt length is. I just used whatever length the 6-rib belt was but I don't think I ever compensated for the crank pulley being smaller.
I remember searching and couldn't find a good answer on belt size. I didn't want it to be too tight and cause bearing issues on the alt or PS pump.
I'll look tomorrow and see if I can still read the belt.

You do mean 10% overdriven crank pulley right? And crank pulley is bigger not smaller. If you went with a underdriven crank pulley on a blown setup that would be like throwing rocks at your own house.

Might explain why he is getting 8lbs on a 408 with a 2.8 pulley and I'm pushing 10 on a 402 with a 3.4 pulley.

Ya boost seems REALLY low for a 2.8 blower pulley overdriven.

Is yours a jackshaft version?

Yes, 10% crank. Sorry, I was working on 2 things as I typed that.
Not jackshaft.
The boost is not really important. The final numbers are. Those LSA P&P heads should flow pretty well so boost won't be so high.

You said so yourself that your exhaust doesn't flow that well. Everything upstream of the exhaust can flow badass but if its restrictive you're going to have higher boost levels.
