My cam cost me 2psi. It has 52* of overlap. That's why I have a GT2-3 sitting in my garage.

I guess my drawing in paint that took me half an hour to draw is not uploading. Too big. So forget that. After reading my last post, and noticing more people have posted, I see 1slowhoe has the best way to measure it. Now if I measured there and got 3.2" without using the "paper" technique, I am assuming I have a 3.2"
It is way to late to pop off belt and do that right now. Maybe on Monday though.
Thanks guys!! Now I wonder where my boost is. Will wait and see what my tuner says I had on his scanner when he did the tune. If guage is way off, new guage required. I want to get a Interceptor guage but am waiting on another post to see if it will read boost on 2 bar MAP. If guage is not off, WTF, it made good power on dyno and runs as strong now as it always has.

Take a piece of paper. Cut it as thin as your truck belt. Wrap it around the pulley. If you get:
9 1/8" you have a 3.2
10 3/4" you have a 3.4
I have both sitting in front of me....

Dont know th OD of the crank pulley off the top of my head. Maybe somebody has one laying around to measure.
If I use a tape measure and measure from lip to lip on the pulley I get:
3 1/8" = 3.2"
3 5/8" = 3.4"
Good luck
