Installing torque boost | How far to move pulley

[isedawishy]

Installing the torque booster and am wondering how far I need to move the new pulley over? It's a 3.33

Thanks!

1 tighter than stock

Thanks! I'll have it all buttoned up tomorrow after work. I'm excited!

Looks like a well put together piece!

Just to follow up, I absolutely had to move it 2 tighter. There was no way the belt was going on even using leverage on the ratchet. Even 2 over it was pretty snug, so hopefully no slipping!

Whoever designed this belt setup really needs to reevaluate their career choice. It's a pain in the ass to move idlers around and change the belt!

Got off work late and didn't get to wrench much. Will be able to button everything else up tomorrow.

Got it all thrown together and took it for a spin. I'm waiting for my installer to have some time to put in my OPG and CS, so only tested up to 6k RPMs.

Noticeable power increase across the entire band. Feels like the difference from going from 93 to E85. I should have done the wastegate a long time ago. Can't wait to be able to pull it to some higher RPMs!

Paxton or Procharger?

Vortech v3. Went from a 3.6 to a wastegated 3.33

I run the 3.33 pulley, 3rd hole from left, no "torque booster" wastegate. You will be overspining the V3 with the stock crank damper, but I have not had any issues and I shift 7500 - 7600 rpm

Have you been to the dyno with the 3.33? Know how much boost you're putting out?

No, & no - car is track tuned and I need to add a boost gauge:

I'm going to convert to 8-rib because even with a tight belt I think u get some slip with 3.33 and smaller pulleys. I might wastegate it if I decide to give the 3.15 High Traction pulley a go.
