Vortech Superchargers 6-Rib 5.00" Drive Pulley (2A036-500)
5.00-Inch 6-Rib Drive Pulley for Vortech Centrifugal Superchargers
The Vortech Superchargers 6-Rib 5.00" Drive Pulley (PN 2A036-500) is a precision-machined supercharger pulley engineered for Vortech centrifugal supercharger systems utilizing a 6-rib belt drive. With its very large 5.00-inch diameter, this pulley substantially reduces supercharger speed, making it ideal for extremely conservative boost setups, engine break-in configurations, or applications where belt control, longevity, and reliability are the top priorities.
Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a durable hard anodized coating, this pulley features the proper 6-rib profile to maximize belt surface contact area for precise fitment, minimized slip, and smooth, consistent operation. Each pulley is manufactured to SAE standards, ensuring accuracy, strength, and dependable performance in demanding street or endurance-focused environments.

FAQs
- What effect does a 5.00-inch pulley have on boost?
A 5.00-inch pulley greatly reduces supercharger speed and typically results in very low boost output compared to smaller pulleys, depending on the overall system configuration. - Is tuning required even with reduced boost?
Yes. Any change to pulley size affects airflow and engine behavior, so proper tuning is always recommended.
