so any issues with belt slip? I had a ton with my TVS2300 set up BUT I also have A/C. I made some changes to pulleys, added some guides and went to 8 rib, hope that helps. At the dyno now.

I honestly really haven't laid the wood to her yet until I get it tuned next week.. I've rev'd the $hit out of it and rolled into it pretty good on the street, but havent noticed anything unusualy.. How can you tell if you are getting belt slip?

You're talking the front accy belt right? Not the blower belt in the back? I bought the cog drive for the back - so no slippage there. Thanks, Jason.

You'll be fine in the back but there are some guys running 10 rib set ups back there, I may do that. What size pulley in front?

Well if it real bad it will jump off but if its semi bad you can see belt dust. Plus you will see it on the tune.

I run a 3.0 in front with IW over drive crank pulley and overdriven rears.

How are things? I'll post some new pics soon, car is still at the dyno shop and I lost the old ones I have. I use the Kwik brackets but had to make my own pulleys, tensioner and guides. A lot of my work was due to wanting to run an 8 rib set up. Also alot of the need for custom pulleys was due to belt lengths available.

Wifey found the receipt for the s/c and I haven't seen her since.... She's probably at the travel agency trying to figure out how to get even with me.. I got a feeling I'll be somewhere tropical here soon..
hahaha. when the moving van shows up, bite your lip and watch what happens. If they move furniture in - she's getting even. if they move furniture out - well.....send me the title ASAP.

Got her running.. I guess just unhooking the battery a couple times and letting it run long enough to re-learn? Seems to be running and starting fine now. Took her on a short trip around the block. Didnt lay the wood to it, but just a couple quick 1/2 throttle squirts - OMG wicked... :-)
Holy shat!!! That baby sounds incredible! Reminds me of Mad Max when he fires up " the last of the V-8s". Nothing sounds better than a roots blower whistling in the breeze!!! Keep up the great work. truly inspirational!

Ill add another "Car looks incredible" to the list of hundreds already, but it really does. Hopefully I will be able to check it out at a car show or Woodward when you go, youll have to let me know when your down there for sure.
What trans is in the car BTW? Idk If I missed that being posted or not...
If you can, Post some interior and rear shots when you get a chance too please, Im sure they are just as good as the engine bay shots. The orange/white is great combo.

What pullys/boost are you running? def looking forward to some pics.. I need to swap out my engine mounts for some energy suspension interlocking ones... the torkz of the combo ripped the new (stock) ones apart.. it has a ratchet strap holding the drivers side of the engine down.. no time to change them out before woodward!
