[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16421388, member: 35549"] Yeah, you're right on the edge of that. IIRC 3" was the size it was time to move to an 8 rib. There just isn't enough surface area for belt contact. I ran a 3.4" on a D1 and no matter what I did it would slip. Including having a belt so tight it took two people to put it on. It tore up the front main bearing too. My final set up was an F1A with a 12% crank pulley and 3.9 blower pulley, 8 rib swap, and a Thump tensioner. Never had slip and it didn't kill the main bearing. Swapping to the 8 rib now will save you many headaches down the road. [/QUOTE]
