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:

http://www.cartek.net/Products/Force...EFlipDrive.htm

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

Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Thanks,
Max

The Flip Drive works very well, we are extremely pleased with it. Just imagine an F-1R with an 8 rib serpentine belt with no slip! Bob

Why is this corvette specific? Will the alternator not clear an Fbody hood?

The ProCharger kits (and other brands) for the LS1 F Body and GTO are our CTS-V kit already have a separate belt for the blower. This is for the blowers that run the blower on the same belt as the accessories. Bob
