I just talked to Reichard Racing, they will have the new Ultra Grip pulleys for the Kenny Bell blower in a week or two.

This is awesome news since the KB pulleys are the worst pulleys I have ever seen. No more belt slippage, or belts wanting to throw themselves off.

Also I highly recomend their pulleys even if you have a stock Eaton blower on your truck. It is a true masterpeice of a pulley if you ask me.

 

Trying to find out if they fit the Works as we type....

 

I highly recommend them. I had some major belt slippage occuring and the Reichard pulley seems to have cured the problem.

 

Other than clearance issues why don't we run one of those big *** cogged belts or like a 3 inch wide belt? Too much strain on bearings? or what?

 

How much are the Pulleys again and where can i order it I couldnt find any link on the site. I saw the pulley in person on blackjack's truck at JDM's on friday awesome piece.

 

First I think the Reichard is the hot ticket for upper pulleys but I would recommend using a ribbed belt such as the Gates or NAPA and not the "cogged" type belts. The pictures below occured yesterday during some hard testing, with the Dayco belt I had on, which appears similiar to the Gatorbacks.

The remains:

 

Jim check the Metco idler pulley. Mine has a awefull woble in it, if yours is doing the same thing it may be part of the problem.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Don,Totaled, where can one purchase Metco idler pulleys?

 

Don, Mine wobbles a little. I compared to a friends at the track a few weeks ago and it was indentical to his so I figured it was alright??? I would guess maybe 1/64" wobble. I previously had a gates belt on it with no problem but I didn't run it as hard either.

Couldn't have posted that 2 weeks ago.

 

Now all Metco has to do is make the idlers for the new blowers both the KB and Works.
