Ok took a look at it. I remember this company came up probably like a year ago or so. I think the general consensus is that the "Aster bracket" or the mod chevy chad did were more cost effective and had better results. I dont think the bracket alone would have that much of a influence as more belt wrap would.

I don't think that the standard aluminum is flexing enough to make people lose 4 psi. Maybe 1 psi or so but I highly doubt 4...

You could still add an extra idler pulley to the steel bracket as well if you had one. I actually had an opportunity to buy a used steel bracket for $80 before I put an extra idler on, but I decided not to and add the idler instead to see how it worked. Since I had good results with the extra idler, I didnt bother pursuing a steel bracket after that.. Here is my thread:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...rap-fbody.html

And as far as I know, noone was ever able to find a source for the hex standoffs. Shouldnt be hard though for any machine shop to be able to throw one on a lathe and machine it down for ya

All the specs for the standoff are in the thread. I dont remember which page the specific dimensions are on, but I think its within the first 5 pages or so.

You can use either a stock procharger idler pulley (2.5" OD), or a stock f-body idler pulley (3.0" OD). I also have approximate belt dimensions for each of those pulleys somewhere in the thread.

I just added an index to the bottom of the first post in my thread. Just click the links to see the post for the standoff dimensions and the belt dimensions.

4 lbs? That sounds like some bs...some kind of study should be posted to back that up. Sounds like some sham Ebay **** someone would pull.

While I do think it is stronger, probably not needed. However I would purchase if I needed a replacement.
