Oh okay cool... dream crushed!

I'll check on the price for the cog setup-that one is pricey due to the fact we used a sprag pulley on the s/c

Probably, but with a 6 rib you'll slip way before the bracket flexing becomes an issue.

I ordered the bracket last week. I asked if he had the standoffs and he said he just sold the bracket. I didn't ask about pulleys, but I am guessing he just does the bracket for existing users who have everything already?

I swapped out the aluminum for the trutech bracket, picked up 2-3 pounds of boost as shown on the gauge, im assuming from less flex and thereby less belt slip.

FWIW, a nice brace from the block to the J bracket will pretty much eliminate flex. Its cheap too.

Any pics or ideas on this?

Just wondering if this was still available for a 10 rib belt driving an F1R? Do you make a 10 rib pulley that bolts onto the crank pulley (ATI crank pulley). Thanks

No the stock Procharger bracket is machined out of a .75" thick piece of aluminum plate, definitely not cast.

Damn that last pic with the cog set up looks sweet! Anyone know how much that will cost? Also if I only plan on running 9-10 psi, will 6/8 rib pulleys and an alum J bracket suffice?

Yea jason. For your goals a standard J-Bracket in a 8rib setup will be fine. I wouldnt run a 6 rib setup though.

Dang, I have all 6 rib pulleys.

Plus my J-bracket has the Chevy Chad mod where one of the stand offs is milled down to include an extra pulley for more belt wrap around the head unit pulley. I wonder if that will make using a 6 rib system acceptable?

Maybe. Could an 8 rib belt still fit under the pulley? What about swapping off the pulley for a thicker one? I have a couple 8 rib blower pullies if your in need. I have a 4.15,4.00 and the 3.7 thats on my blower now will be off soon. I also have a 3.70 in 6rib. I would try to figure out an 8rib setup.
