Probably will be dropping the pulley down on my Radix to a 3.1. Presently at 3.25 from the 3.4 that was shipped with it. With the cam install I did a while back the boost dropped from 9ish PSI down to 6psi with the 3.25. Want to pick this back up as it ran well at 9.
Thinking I should probably consider a smaller belt now. It has the one shipped with the unit. What lenght is it? I've also upgraded the alternator to a 145 amp unit which also has a smaller pulley. Any suggestions on what length to drop to? I've heard GatorBelts are good replacements?
