ATI and Innovators West have full kits (balancer and all pulleys sans blower pulley). As already mentioned, LC32 offers a full kit with the IW balancer and T-mac pulleys which is very nice. I decided to piece together my 8-rib kit with the following:
Powerbond 10% OD crank balancer
Billetflow 90mm idlers (already had installed on 6-rib sys but wide enough for 8-rib)
T-mac Alt and Power Steering pulleys (thru LC32)
Gates HD tensioner (comes with 8-rib pulley)
SFPH blower pulley (custom make)

do you have a link to that crank pulley, tried searching and couldn't find it. and do you think stock idlers will be ok for a 8 rib ? they look wide enough

I wouldn't cut corners on the 8rib setup as belt alignment and having pulleys with shoulders make a big difference.

I bought it from Buynspeed, part no. PB081190-SC10. I just checked a stock idler against a 8-rib belt and the belt is ~1/16 wider than the flat surface of the pulley. If alignment was perfect it may work but I wouldn't chance it. It would probably end up wearing the belt irregularly.

Mine came from Leftcoast32. They have them setup ready to go. Other brands don't fit right and belt alignment becomes an issue. You won't find a better guy for after the sale customer assistance then Joe at Leftcoast32.

Just a heads up for anyone doing the 8-rib conversion...do yourself a favor and get a gates pulley alignment tool. They can be had for around $100 if you shop around and it will save you a ton of headaches.
