Ok took a look at it. I remember this company came up probably like a year ago or so. I think the general consensus is that the "Aster bracket" or the mod chevy chad did were more cost effective and had better results. I dont think the bracket alone would have that much of a influence as more belt wrap would.

You could still add an extra idler pulley to the steel bracket as well if you had one. I actually had an opportunity to buy a used steel bracket for $80 before I put an extra idler on, but I decided not to and add the idler instead to see how it worked. Since I had good results with the extra idler, I didnt bother pursuing a steel bracket after that.. Here is my thread:

And as far as I know, noone was ever able to find a source for the hex standoffs. Shouldnt be hard though for any machine shop to be able to throw one on a lathe and machine it down for ya

All the specs for the standoff are in the thread. I dont remember which page the specific dimensions are on, but I think its within the first 5 pages or so.
You can use either a stock procharger idler pulley (2.5" OD), or a stock f-body idler pulley (3.0" OD). I also have approximate belt dimensions for each of those pulleys somewhere in the thread.
