Default a&a corvette pulleys

anybody running their 6 rib 3.4 pulley? i've got one coming in the mail after finishing my kooks lt install and just wondering what boost i can expect, stock heads, cam and intake , but alky kit, boost a pump and now 1 7/8 headers with 3 o/f x-pipe should open her up a little and going from a 3.6 to the 3.4 should shake things up a bit

As you begin to lower that pulley size, it's time to start considering an 8-rib setup.

Yea I have the A&A 6 rib 3.4" pulley on a T-Trim head unit making 14 psi. No belt slip at all.
I got belt slip when I went to a smaller than 3.4" pulley from Vortech as Andy doesnt make one smaller than his 3.4".
No meth running 17 degrees timing

Dropping from a 3.6 to a 3.4" will net you 2-3 more psi.

Usually a 3.6 to 3.4 swap will get you ~2psi.

you can move down to a 3.2 from vortech or reichardracing but those pulleys are hard to come by...Only thing is the vortech pulleys have no shoulders ...which should not be a problem if all is set up correctly

With an S-trim + Andy's kit don't go below a 3.0" pulley with the 6-rib.
Ran a 3.0" for a couple of years. Tried a 2.8" and started slipping.

Long ago, when I switched from 3.6 to 3.4 pulley on 6-rib; Gained 37 RWHP!
Those were the days.....

I picked up 2 lbs with the same change. I didn't even buy a new belt, there was enough adjustment.
