Finally! Higher boost levels with reliability from your current SC Setup.

We at Cartek are happy to present the "Flip Drive", a new Patent Pending product from Hormilla Perf. Eng..

It separates your belt drive system for your supercharger from your accessories' belt drive system. This allows for more belt wrap on the crankshaft(higher boost level possibilities) and eliminates the tension in the belt generated from the supercharger from damaging your accessories. Best of all it more than likely works with your current SC setup on your LSX based Corvette.

You can get more details on the system at the link below:

And for results from one of customers go and check out the following link, the flip drive is mentioned from page 16 on:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...uildup-16.html

Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Thanks,
Max

Max,

I would like to commend you on your customer service when I called to order the kit for my car. I wasn't sure about the 8-rib compatibility and such, but your guys answered my questions.

Now I can't wait for my parts!

That's pretty trick Max. Almost makes me want to get a S/C......almost.

How long has Mario been running that? I never noticed it.

Interesting. How would this system work on a car that has an electric water pump and no AC system? I hit a bump in road and my entire AC system fell off. Surprised the hell out of me

He's been running it now for about 8 to 9 months. It was on the times you saw him run it at the track... that's how he got down the track every time with no belt slip. Once Mario gets his transmission and traction issues squared away he is going to really fly.

I like it!!! Would it just use my current tensioner (ECS setup) to keep tension on the blower?

Yes, it would use the ECS setup to keep tension on the blower. With the Flip Drive kit, when looking at the engine head on, anything to the left of the crank pulley is left alone.
