Best F-Body set up going for the 'larger' race style superchargers IMO.

See link.

I e-mailed Dan back last month and I haven't heard back from him. When Dan first got in touch with me, it didn't seem to me that it was proven yet. I would be interested in it now. Bob

Speedracer, I remember talking to you awhile ago but I'd like some 6 speed info. I'll be switching to a F1R shortly and I'm not quite sure which route I want to go with the tensioner. I've heard all the rumors about running a cog setup with a manual trans.....have you had any issues and if so what did you do to fix them? I thought about working with Chris and setting up one of the brackets to run a 10rib. I wonder how well this bracket could perform with a 10rib? I would need to space everything out a bit further but I wonder if it would work? My main concern is that the car is going to stay a 6spd for awhile and I don't want to be throwing/shredding $150 belts trying to do highway pulls lol. I'm working on making my car much more serious all around.

I've never seen much of a difference when going to a slightly wider belt. I don't think you'd have a problem with a cog and a manual, as long as you have the belt tracking right on.



We had the cog set-up on my Z28 that we use to produce back at the old shop, and my car saw a lot of back peddling. Bob

Unfortunately the design needed to fit the tensioner I used on the bracket requires a whole new plate machined. There isn't any way to modify the stock Procharger bracket to work the same way.

At the current time a large discount from a group purchase for the Aster Bracket would be hard to do, due to material cost and machining. We'll talk about it and see what can be done, but I wouldn't expect anything to come from it right away. Thanks. Bob
