I ran a cog setup with a manual but I had the ATI Super Pulley (Sprag). I don't know if the sprag is definitely necessary with a manual, I never tried it with a regular cog pulley on the blower.

Nope, it is designed to replace the ProCharger bracket for the 98-02 F Body, which locates it down low on the driver side. The ProCharger GTO placement is up higher on the driver side. I've had good results in the past using the standard ProCharger GTO bracket. Are you having problems with it? Bob

Hey Bob, I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the Aster bracket and water pump, are they in stock? Anyway I bought a pulley from you a few months back (3.40) and was wondering if this still would work with the Aster bracket. I'm not sure with the addition of the Aster bracket if the D-1 will be over revving or under it's max impeller speed. Let me know I still have the pulley in the plastic it came in.

I'm not BoB lol but i think I can answer your question. No aster brackets are not in stock they are made to order. 3.4 pulley will be fine you just won't have the belt slip that you would have had!

Thanks for your input everyone, but we currently have so many orders to fill that I wouldn't even want to think about doing a group purchase. Thanks! Bob

The Aster bracket is only for the 98-02 F Body. I do sell the ProCharger GTO bracket on my website. Thanks. Bob
