I have never had a rattle out of my blower in the years that I have had this on the car. In fact my head unit is significantly less noisy than the other guy here who has the stock bracket.
Yes there is significantly less static tension placed on the belt when using a spring loaded tensioner. The manual tensioner of the normal bracket requires you to really crank it down to get the belt as tight as possible to try and combat slippage as it expands with RPM.

I agree, anytime you have a spring loaded tensioner the sound of "marbles in a can" is significantly reduced. Bob

After everything I've read, I'm happy I avoided the stock bracket and ordered this one. I'm trying to learn from the mistakes and improvements that have been made over time and build my setup optimal the first time around. This includes doing the Aster bracket, FMIC, custom blower intake and filter up front as well as running MeOH.
I'm sure with Bob's help, I'll be more than happy in the end.

As long as the water pump does not use the large size bell shaped pulley on it, you can use it. The Corvette LS2 water pump that Chris recommends using with the Aster bracket has a smaller pulley on it. If you have an electric water pump with the large bell shaped pulley and you can figure out a way to swap the pulley on it, then you could use it. I haven't looked into it myself. Bob

Hey all,
I would like to provide some feedback on this thing. When you receive the box and open it up, you'll know this is a fantastic piece. Between the instructions, the machine work, packaging, and assembly, this is one of the most professional-looking parts I've ever bought. It's a freakin' work of art.
I had one small issue after installing the bracket, and it was due to having the wrong length standoff for the blower. Procharger has two standoff sizes themselves, but Aster wasn't yet sure what cars required what size. He offered to send me a new one immediately and was very responsive to my inquiries. I had a connection to a local machinist, though, so I just had mine shortened the appropriate amount, and all was well.
After installing it and putting about a thousand miles on it, I have no problems with belt walking around, belt slip, or blower rattle. The rattle is still there just a touch, but it's dramatically reduced. Depending on your idle speed, it may be gone entirely.
In short, I can't recommend this enough. It's a great piece and well worth the price tag.

I've recently sold three more of these brackets, if anyone is looking for a way to eliminate belt slip in higher boost builds with an LS1 F Body with a ProCharger, this is a great way to go. Bob
