This would certainly solve my old problem.

Overkill for me of course.

How much is this set-up?

Mine is for a whipple and its $2050 plus the cost of the tensioner. The tensioner and SC pulley is not pictured.

Damn. If I were forged I'd be heading in that direction but with my stock RA I have to be very careful.

The LPE Maggie 10 rib is $2800 + blower pulley. There is an IW 10 rib but it doesn't have the wrap the lpe has.

I'll never need that.

I'll stick with mid 11s.

PQ I think the IW 10 rib for the maggie is only $1800...

I have the IW 10 rib,when i get a chance to install it i will make a proper tensioner .I will be using a electric pump as well which will help with belt slip.

I have NEVER spun a magnason harder and lost power NEVER. On our record car we have the OD balancer overdriven cogs and a 2.8,this is with a 8 rib....IMO you could spin yours faster but if your slipping you have to address that first.

Thanks Thomas. But are there gains there to be had to justify the cost of installing the lpe kit?

Only you can answer that,for me i would change the tensioner set up on your car and stay with the 8 rib with a 3.2,that would get were you want to be and make sure,which im sure Ted has you a GREAT air intake.I know this is pointless to say to you but if you can be patiant lol there could be a 125-135 tb in the works that wont close,that will get you your 9s with no other changes.
