Default Sidewinder Performance Accessory LSX Drive System

Guys- We just released this at the 2006 SEMA show, and it is a huge hit.



The Sidewinder is the solutiuon to all your accessory mounting needs. We provide all items from the face of the block forward, so it is an all inclusive kit.
This is a performance based drive system that does not use any idler pulleys, chrome or polish, and is packaged with components from the industry's best suppliers.
American Touring Specialties Sidewinder drive kit includes the following parts:

All truss style mounting brackets made from 6061-T6 aluminum with black hard coat anodozing

Revised GM LSX water pump casting with 8 vane scrolled impeller (to reduce parasitic horsepower loss) ceramic seals, and SBC style pulley flange with ATS overdriven pulley

ATI super dampener and ATS underdrive crank pulley

Powermaster 140 amp alternator with ATS overdrive pulley and turbine style fan

Sanden SD7 A/C compressor with ATS clutch cover

Lee Engineering aluminum type II GM power steering pump with blueprinted internals, AN fittings, CV products press on hub with ATS bolt on pulley

OEM style tensioner with Gates drive belt (same belt used on Katech C6R engines)

All hardware made to ATS spec by ARP.

Pricing is starting at $2995. This will fit into most engine compartments from a 32 Ford, to a 92 Camaro. The width of the entire system is 21 inches, and from the face of the block to the outermost pulley is 7.68 inches. No part of the accessory system goes beyond the profile of the face of the engine. Call us at the shop to place your sales order.

Tyler

I already have the ATS Super Damper. Do you have a kit without it?

I'm not trying to be a smartass but his post was 3½ years ago (11/05/06) and your reply is the only one since then. Rather than wait for an answer here, I think I would call the company. JMO

They were bought by another company it seems, but I've emailed them with no answer as well. If you are looking for a similar black kit, check with Vintage Air, they have one just like it in their Front Runner lineup. I've installed one of their kits and it was top notch.

Even more interesting to me is the ITB set up in that pic. Anyone know anything about it?

Very nice setup. Pretty expensive though, I guess its not bad considering how nice it looks.

I sold the company to Speedtech-Performance last year at the 2009 SEMA show. They should be able to get current pricing and info on the Sidewinder accessory drive.

The induction was a Kinsler ITB system.
