so whats your current belt look like???? its like a west virginian....toothless...lmao

speedracer5532

And why does it look like that D-Bag? Because an electrical connector went through the impeller you dumbass.

well see if you go turbo we can mount the turbo or turbos high enough to clear all wire, electrical connectors...and/or a small child by welding the air filter right on the comp housing.....

Well he actually has 3 options Justin
Option A- mount the turbo away from any wires
Option B- re-route the wires so they are away from the turbo
Option C- Add enough wires to the existing wires so they aren't as flexible this way they won't easily be sucked into the filterless blower

I vote option c all the way!!!

lol yes either way this little problem can be fixed with or without building a new power adder system...

but all joking aside......there is pro and cons of turbo and blower....its all in what you want.....no way to add boost with a controller or some lag to make some power....sweet *** noise while crusing thru town or just sounds like a cam only camaro....sitting on the trans brake while the turbo spools up and 10 people coming running over and you have to tell them your not boarding rite now or your belt flew off after a 3/4 power shift....etc....etc.....lol

Yes there are pros and cons to both. My car looks just like anyother normal camaro sitting there until I fire it up and then any wondering what I have goes out the window hearing that blower. The stealth and adjustability of a turbo is something I like. So I don't know...guess I need to fix my supercharger and then decide after that.

John kind of off topic but do you happen to have any pictures of what typle of Inlet your running on that F1R? Very curious

Plus you got a 427 so when your outta boost your going to still had alot of power, unlike my 8.5:1 CR, ls6 cammed stock headed 347 which was very slugglish out of boost.

Once again on another note John do you have any issues with the 6spd and the cog system? I'm thinking about changing over when I get my F1C. My cars a 6spd and I've heard both side of the rumor but not sure which is actually true.

I have a forged 347 w/ a stock crank and had a F1a on my car and now have decided to go turbo an 88mm and I've gained 68hp and over 150ftlbs of torque with less boost (15 vs 18). I think turbo is the way to go. I always had belt issues even with the cog setup. It wasn't until I got the ATI pulley that my belt problems went away. But I lost about 2-3lbs boost. I'm not knocking the charger but it just has to many places of failure and the turbo is more efficient

I am running the ATI Super Pulley (sprag) and I haven't had any issues with it and the 6-speed. Some have said you can run a regular cogged blower pulley and a stick on the street but I haven't tried it yet.

Assume this is for the air to air and not the air to water kit correct?

Yea I was going to say if you go turbo you may as well put a 4l80e in it or a TH400 and run 8's all day.
