Did the rack or anything have to be moved for that pulley system?

Sure did. Rack was moved and the blower was shimmed, had to machine one of his old vortech pulleys, royal pain but it is done.

I looked at the 10rib setup,didn't feel like doing the extra work. I guess our 416ci/Novi Vette will have to make due with the 8 rib

We are doing a few things to the car today, so I'll get some pics up later today when it comes down. We have the entire kit perfected in-house now, however I would only want to sell this for in-house customers. I can provide the new power steering bracket, and all the pulleys, but there is a lot of work to move some other items around. Overall, we are very happy with the low belt tension (No slippage @ 12-14lbs) that we have to use compared to 8-rib for no slipping.

Here is a few on-track photos for now:

Do you think the FLPs are hurting the performance with back pressure since they are 1 3/4" primaries?
