The Flip Drive makes it easier to get the belt alignment perfect. It took me almost 2 weeks to get it perfect.

I am using a 10 Rib system with Green belt for 2 seasons, 10,000 miles of guitar string tension on the belt ripping 8K rpm and it has yet to show any wear or change color.

Who is the Floridian
Good info. Makes me already hate blowers and brackets lol. Can't wait to get this thing aligned.

The Floridian is onebadcad, V-SeriesTech is building him a nasty 414/F1X/LS7 headed beast....

Lots of little extras like 5" stack and custom snout on F1x to increase flow should get impressive numbers.

Lets shoot for 1150 and call 1250+ a bonus. This philosophy has worked well for us thus far, and if you notice, we're never disappointed when we leave the dyno

Hell, we almost fell over when J's car made 780 on the first pull...since we were planning on maybe 675 or so at the low boost level...

Sorry about the 4 inch shortage. I know how much that means to you, I'll try not to let that happen again

Lemme know when your F1X can do this:
Until then, 1150+ will be just fine
