Sure is fun to go fast again!

goodgenes, thats pretty closes. weren't there two different sets of the c3 wrap kit; 1 for stock setup which included 3 pulleys because it was too close to the idler pulley AND 1 for ASP setup which included only two pulley because the idler pulley was already small.
Am I mistaken?
Did you get the right kit?

jason yours runs as close as mine did. thats why i removed it. just to close for me, i was afraid i would trash the belt. how long have you had it on? no damage to the belt?
woody what about my question regarding the pulley ribs being machined down and running the on the backside of the belt? good idea?

Re: Do it yourself DIY Belt Wrap Kit for less than $25
sorry T1, I thought he said in his post that goodgenes is using the C3 setup. But the pic does look like he's using the stock SC idler pulley, atleast I think I see ribs in there. I'm still considering doing this, but I just want to hear how people are doing with the wrap pulley and how the belt is holding up. Just want to make sure more people are getting the same results.

32, I may not be the best for your question, maybe tighed1.
If I understand you were going to just do some of the ribs. THat would be odd to me as the edges would carry all of the stress and distort the belt, again if I understand it all. Me I like bigger pullies though I can not figure how to get one to fit in the current design. My pulley saver had to go to a longer belt to fit in all the increased pulley lengths, so I again ask Tighed1 to step in on your query...Woody

Will take pics and comments later.
