Anyone know what belt size to use for a 3.125 pulley on the Vortech System?

Should be about 0.50" - 0.75" shorter. There are a couple of guys on here running that combo, maybe they can jump in and comment.

Andy i was the one Tony tested this setup on. The belt was not changed we reused the same belt. Most of us in here that have tried the 3.125 found it only changes the mid-range of the car. Not really worth using this pulley if you want more power in terms of numbers. Go with the 2.87 pulley.

Correct but since we have been working to source belts and pulleys.
