Flip Drive Belt System for Maggies Posted this on the other forum but there seems to be more techies here. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction...
I was reading up on this: http://www.cartekracing.com/Products...EFlipDrive.htm
Yes, I know this current setup is for Prochargers.
Naturally it got me thinking. Why couldn't this be made for our applications? It seems that what it does is break up our one large serpentine belts into 2 separate systems. One being a belt going from the crank to the maggie, the second taking up all the rest of the accessories. Doing a search on "flip drive belt system" i've been hearing tons of reviews about guys going way up in boost numbers and having ZERO slip reported without having to go 8 rib. Many benefits to this guys, may be worth a look into. I would assume we'd need some custom pulleys made but that shouldn't be too hard.
If I'm way off base here and just plain crazy, I'm sure someone will correct me.
