The LSA has those around the corner ends, we had no choice. Once we discovered that they work it was a no brainer.

love the ingenuity! I think you will likely have belt slip issues on those D1s though with that long of a belt and no pulley between that big stretch of belt at the top. I'd at least add an idler pulley near the blowers but I could be wrong and it might work fine.

100% right, it did and we did add the idler. We ended up with so much boost that the bov was constantly open. It has reverted to a single now and is awaiting its new eddy heads and roller cam conversion. Should go in in the next month or so.
