Can anyone confirm the plastic Saleen idler to the right of w/p is smaller than the stock idler?

And what is the size of each.

I am thinking about trying a 3.2 pulley without any other mods since my 3.4 pulley has never slipped on me. If the stock idler pulley is larger than the Saleen idler then I would swap that out as the only other modification.

I'm trying to achieve some very cheap hp gains by only swapping the idler and the s/c pullies.

I have an electric w/p so I can't swap that pulley out. As much as I would like to have an 8 rib setup, I'm don't want to spend $600+ when I'm trying to save up for LT headers and a catted mid-pipe.

I'd love to hear from anyone else with a Saleen s/c and a 3.2 pulley with no other belt wrap related mods to see how that's working for them.

where you are located Id go with the 3.0 pulley? well..I dont see where you have headers? I run Kooks headers with the 3.4 and only see 8psi. Im goin to run the 3.2...but would like to talk to JDM about maybe the 3.0 with my KOOKS. and yes I just switched out the Saleen plastic pulley fro the stock OEM Ford Pulley. the OEM is bigger but I can tell any difference in boost. I dont have the chirping sound anymore so that has helped.
the plastic Saleen pulley is a 76mm guided smooth idler pulley and the OEM is a 90mm non guided idler pulley.
also you may already have but you need to trim off the stop tab on your belt tensioner to help get the belt on easier.

I have a chance at a smokin deal on an 8 rib kit with a 3.4 and a 3.2 s/c pulley, but if I can get away with moving back to the stock idler pulley for $30 and a 3.2 s/c pulley for $99 at either JDM or Brenspeed then I'd rather save my money.

The 8 rib kit also includes a billet Reichard Racing adjustable tensioner and the two RR s/c pullies. All brand new, never installed for $525.00 shipped.
