99 Cobra blower upgrade procharger belt slippage

I'm at 14lbs no slip with factory 6 rib and tensioner, I do have the Reichard Racing head unit pulley.
I have a 2.95 " pulley on a 6 rib P1SC. I got the Carbonite coating. Don't think I am having any slipping but does dirty engine bay. Also belts need to be replaced sooner....
You wont have any belt-slip problems for 10-13psi. That's probably a 3.5 or 3.75 pulley to hit those boost levels, no where near small enough to worry about slipping. Just make sure you get your belt/pullies laser-aligned.
I ran a 3.00 on a 6-rib 2V and slipped EVERYWHERE. Pullied up to a 3.25 and got no slip (16psi)

Shouldn't have any slippage issues at that boost level. Best way to avoid slippage on our setups is to go with an 8 rib upgrade. Best thing I have ever done. :rockon:
A decent tensioner and good alignment will work wonders. But if you're ever thinking of upping the boost I'd do an 8 rib swap while everything is apart and easy to get to. That was the best thing I did on my old set up. I didn't have any slip at 19psi with the F1A.
3 bolt steel tensioner and if needed carbinite coat pulley
