Yeah, I don't doubt the vacuum creating properties for a second, how much vacuum, don't know, but some is better than none (and of course there is the weight saving). I just wish Reichard would make bigger than 3.6"

I just ordered a 3.1" RR pulley thru Lethal Performance. Hopefully it'll ship out in a timely fashion.

Strange that the Reichard website has been taken down ??

Do you run CW or CCW on the S2000? I ask because my SHO runs a CCW setup and had RR make a custom pulley for it. My first RR pulley was a regular CW cut and I didn't notice any issues, but the pulley was also larger. I located my idler pulley to allow the most belt wrap as I could possibly get; so large that the belt going to the SC pulley runs within 1mm of the belt coming off the back side of the pulley.

Deception

what brand of belt are you using?

I compared photos of the Mustang pulley (which I purchased) and the S2k pulleys, and they were both cut in the same direction.

I'm using Gates belts. My first few were Greenbacks and now running regular Gates.

Which way does the SC pulley turn? If the engine is CW and your blower pulley is towards the engine, it'd be a CCW blower which is an uncommon pulley cut for RR.

My setup runs a CCW blower which is the same direction as the mustang.

Not all Mustangs use a CCW blower.

But the 96-04 mustangs spin CCW, right?

I actually went to Reichards shop in MD to get a pulley, it was freaking awesome. I have never seen so many machines crammed into such a small space and all of them going at once. His main focus is not making pulleys, he has some substantial gov biz from what I understood...so along with that and race season he is swamped. They rarely respond to emails and don't answer the phone...sounds like bad business, but he has so much he does not need more. If you want one of his pulleys, pm me, I have an email address that his shop foreman will actually respond to...eventually.

I don't think it is the holes that make the difference...rather the cross cut slots that actually grab the belt...or so the man himself says.
