I"m guessing this will be the most cost effective way too?
I have a member with an OD cog drive and fuel rail to sell. Plus I've contacted Jesicca as well.
My engine is not forged so I am not chasing max boost. 8-9 pounds is all I care to chance. My car is tuned just fine so I need no tune.
My whole reason behind doing this is that it sit uncomfortable with me that my belt is slipping so badly. Or is it. Vengeance said it isn't. That it's perfectly normal.
So my next question is does that sound plausible? I've never seen anything out of Vengeance that is not top notch work. 
These are my cam specs '223/231 .610/.617 115+4' and my long tubes have 1 3/4 primaries into a 2.5" collector.
Also, what are the dangers with a set-up where the belt is slipping as mine appears to be?
Again, just trying to fully understand more of the intricacies of it all.
Is it possible for my belt to all of a sudden grab and boost through the roof? Obviously a slipping belt only get's worse, never better, but that wouldn't be dangerous to the engine I wouldn't think. Just not creating the power you are used to.
Bottom line my car is a DD and I drag race about once per year. But I want to start going once a month or so. So I want to know my car is up to the task and safe.

Start with the 3.8 pulley if you just want 8-9 psi. I think the 3.6 will put you closer to 10-11 psi. Also your belt isnt going to magically catch and give you a "nos" boost.
