8 Rib Supercharger Pulleys
Is anyone running an 8 rib pulley setup other than Innovators West? This would be for a Whipple kit.
I was specifically looking at these two, but neither appears to be a complete kit. MTI Racing 8 Rib: MTI-221-003 http://www.mtiracing.com/mti-8-rib-b...ulley-kit.html ATI: 918635 http://www.atiracing.com/products/da...s/damsuper.htm The 8-rib version of this damper may have been something custom from Redline Motorsports because I can't find a lot of information about it. I want something that looks like it came from the factory. MTI's kit seems to be closest to that goal. Thanks. Tim |

I converted over to the LSA drive system. Keeps your accessories on a 6 rib and the blower on a 8 rib. It's more expensive but works really well.

Why not IW? They make great stuff. Odds are some of the other kits are just rebranded IW anyways. I've run 8 rib IW stuff for a long time and no issues, and their service/support is great.

Considered the LSA drive system, but with all of the failures the CTS-V's had with their Whipples, I don't have much confidence in that swap. Besides that, this is going onto a Saab 9-7X and I have a complete, brand new LS3 Camaro drive system sitting in the basement just for use with the Whipple. Tim |

Running the MTI kit with my Maggie, it's a complete kit, I only had to get a 8 rib pulley for the supercharge and that's it.

Anodizing is cheap and easy to do. Just get the IW annodized then.

About 90% of the Ctsv owners that installed 2.9 whipples on them broke the whipples. The 10% that didn't probably never pushed the whipple or sold the blower before they failed.

Yea. A few broke the shaft, bearings etc. here's a link to one thread but if you search you will find many on that site.

That's interesting but ADM has used this set up on a few cars and not had any problems so hopefully I won't either.

Looks like I'll be going with the MTI setup. That seems closest to what I want even though it may not be complete.

Whipple supply the IW balancer with the 8 rib kit ... I would be very surprised if they would do that if there was any chance that they thought it was going to fail.
