No, I minored in it actually. I was being sarcastic since everybody seems to be adding crazy amounts of ribs to thier setups in order to fight belt slip. I was also down playing the complexity of a turbo setup. It really only has 1 moving shaft though. Piece of cake right?

10 rib for now...still unsure of the noise and longevity of the cog setup. I heard rumors that a company might have a 14 rib rear setup in the works as well...I'll be paying close attention to that one.

I vote for cogging it. If you want to overcome the achilles heel of a SC, then cog it. It shouldn't be any louder than AR long tubes with open cutouts.

Glad to see you are keeping your truck Chris. The 2300 should be bad ***. I like what Kyle is doing... would SERIOUSLY consider it myself but I do not have the $$ for a short block and a TVS kit. Man, those front drive TVS kits are real nice.

FWIW, I worry about bearing side load on accessories past 8-rib. 14 rib? Geesh... maybe look into driving the charger seperately. Hell, thats what GM was gonna do. Remember the upside down truck blower pics awhile back? I still have them. Maybe work with ATI if you are not in a hurry...
