Zippy & I will be putting either a 2.8 or 3.0 pulley on my Radix and then doing the Alky Control meth kit to keep the temps down.

Is it a two peice screwed together? The reason I ask is all the screws in the face.
Looks like more power for you, which will mean you will need even....... MoreGrip!!
Haha get it...hahaha.

Your garage must look like a candy store. 
MJ said it earlier, your taking the Radix to the limit and beyond. Keep up the great work.

That is a great looking setup and should help with belt slipage! We really need to get together so you can show me some of these great projects you have been doing. Have a great day!

I notice its keyed
I havent really kept up with how much problem that is
for the FI guys as far as the pulley slipping,
but makes pretty good sense,
esp with the larger pulley
looks good

it will clear the stock waterpump, but just barely, and something I am not comfortanle with, so I will be uprading to the full Evans system. The Evans water pump would equal the same clearance as the stock arrangement. 5 3/4" is the stock WP pulley size, 5 1/4" is the Evans WP pulley size. According to Evans, with the 8" crank pulley and their 5 1/4" water pump I will be right in the sweet spot of their specification for street driven vehicles, about 17% overdriven.

The keyed pulley is if I decide to go to an aftermarket crank in the future. I will be using the Magnuson pinning kit on my current setup.
