Have to call them, I forget what they quoted me last year, about the same as what a new F1R cost if I remember.

Here is a thread I posted with Pics of my Geardrive/Procharger when I recieved them: https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...oday-pics.html.

They are right at $3K for the geardrive unit. There is no fitment issues other than figuring out where you want to move your radiator.

With the new design of the Procharger bracket, I have not heard anyone have belt slippage even with a F1-R. I would only think about doing a gear drive for a F2 or higher.

Our cog assembly is much less money and you won't have to worry about belt slippage. Bob

If it's a race car, I would still do a geardrive with an F1R, belt slippage concerns asside. With that said, some classes don't allow geardrives, only belts, wonder why.

Gear drive is more efficent which = more power.

its an all out build for the 275 class.
