right now my car is getting rebuilt and will be done by friday. I plan on installing my Vortech V2-SQ with custom intercooler setup, and im aiming for 500hp. I would like to know what size pulley should get me there? I was thinking the 2.87in would get me 14-15psi which i'm assuming i'll need for 500hp. Its geting comp stage 2 cams and i have custom ported heads being thrown on as well. I'm all set for fuel and every supporting mod. I was thinking of an 8rib setup but this is my daily driver and i rarely ever go full throttle up to 6k rpms unless im at the track, so some belt slip wouldn't bother me, i can just buy some belt spray if needed for a quick track fix. I was thinking of 8 rib setup but almost everything i read about it said they go through 3-4 belts a year and i dont want to deal with that. Something about the vortech aluminum bracket flexing which causes the belts to break.
Also what size belt would i need with the 2.87 pulley? I heard the belt sizes vary between the years so im not sure if 99-00 is the same as 01-04 I have a 2000.
