That's kinda what I'm trying to do.....without having a shop full of TVS pulleys. You buy 'em for $100 and sell 'em for $50. Volume doesn't help that equation

I tried a 3.0 6 rib pulley when i went 2300 slipped like crazy tried new belts and everything finally said screw it went 8 rib and 2.8 pulley i see 12# to 13 # but im at 6200 ft. I think u might be fine with that 3.3 might even be a tad more like 10 # never tried rip pulley's but a lot of people have great luck with them

I'm at 8psi with a 3.4" pulley. Do you think that going to a 3.3" will result in belt slip? I was hoping for 10 to 11psi before I had to be concerned with belt slip.

I was sure hoping for more. 3.3" would give me 9psi. I had that with the 2.6" pulley on my MP122 that this TVS is replacing. Don't the TVS blowers turn easier vs the older blowers? The drive is the same on the TVS vs the MP122 that it replaced. Just a shorter belt. If the TVS is easier to turn per pound of boost and I add the RIP pulley/green belt combo, I was thinking at least a 3.2 and maybe a 3.1.
