Thread: belt wrap

At what pulley size is a belt wrap needed to prevent belt slip?

Depends on a few things, but usually it's in the sub 2.8 range.

What are those few things? Im gonna be running a 2.8" pulley

you'll know when you start to get into it you'll find the black powdered rubber dust

If you're not 2.6" or lower, I wouldn't really see any point honestly.

Yeah what ill probably do is just get ZZPs oversized tensioner pulley

Thought this thread said "belt warp" at first, and was like, what?

the G/H body bracket is a good increase in belt wrap, but both it and the iron W body bracket can be imprived by using the 3.5" pulley on the tensioner and using the dodge/mercedes/etc 2.5" dia ribbed pulley....you can gain a couple more degree's of belt wrap.

ron vogel also proved that if you had slip you could roll a triangle file through your polished sc pulley grooves to creat teeth to add traction if you think your starting to slip

At first i was thinking wbody belt wrap than i remembered ZZPs oversized tensioner pulley plus its cheaper

I have this one but I've decided not to use it ... Yet. I'm a 2.8 with the 8 rib conversion. No slip.
maybe ill try it out if I toss the 2.6 on or else I'll just sell it
