Ive got the RMCR top kit for the YSI. Brackets and all the hardware are below $900. everything else on the car was built in house by Poorboy Racing in ohio.
custom front mount a2w, retains all factory stuff. factory radiator location, factory battery location, factory fans, and retains all factory a/c and a/c lines.
about RMCR: I ve got all of my blower parts that i currently have through them. but, that included waiting 5 months in the spring for the brackets. We r using the 8" bottom pulley, and 2.5" top pulley(8 rib), for max boost/power. We went with the carbonite coated pulley bc we knew we were gonna be fighting belt slip issues. we talked with RMCR about this, and was told we were gonna be fine w this setup and he had gotten it to work before with a non-coated pulley. in the end, the pulleys werent even close to holding the power. With the slipping belt the car only made 18#s and only made 860whp. we have to go with a 50mm cog drive. After nothing but problems on the dyno, we called RMCR for the cog drive. We were quoted 2 weeks for the cog drive, after waiting 5 MONTHS, excuse after excuse, no reply to emails, never answers calls, we finally cancelled our order from RMCR. We r now looking to build our own setup. obviously we would not recommend anyone doing buisness with RMCR!

I will respond for transamatt99, I have Done all the work to the car. The blower doesn't really sit higher, this car previously had a v1 on it, and the brackets are damn near the same. So the bottoms of the blowers are both at the same level, so the added height is the difference in the diameters of the blowers. This will fit under a stock ws6 hood for anyone who was asking.
I got more pics If anyone has more interest in the kit I did on the hugger orange car. it retains EVERYTHING factory, and u don't gotta cut up those nice bumper covers

Oh, and once the cog drive is fabbed up, we will be back on the dyno. We are gonna see if we can break the Ysi world record. Recently seen it gm high tech. 1,028 hp. Wish us luck!!

I was told that the kit should fit under a ws6 hood by RMCR but who knows, with all the bad luck I have had with them I dont know what to believe, so in essence, if you love your stock highly overpriced hood you should probably pm someone that has a ysi on a ws6.
Phatasp- I dont think it sits any higher vertically, however the overall size of the blower is larger. The brackets angle it slightly so that it will still clear a 4" cowl hood. I will have to get some pics with the hood down but there is probably only a 1/4" clearance.
To anybody interested in my setup, the poorboys racing shop (bobsmyuncle) can replicate my kit to anyone interested. Its fully tig welded front mount a2w with a large water tank in the trunk.

Once we do some more testing here in the next couple weeks and have some numbers and verify everything works We will be getting it out to market. Tim (tim99ws6) is heading up the marketing effort on this, Im just one of the engineers getting it to work. We are going to see what the max capability of the 6 rib pulley is since we increased the size of the 6 rib on the jack shaft and got some pretty decent belt wrap... We also have an 8 rib option in the works to handle the higher HP application...

Keep us all posted how y'all do with belt slippage.
If I was building an all out car, I'd run a gear drive setup, I don't think anyone will keep the belts on for a mid to low 8 car otherwise.
I really enjoyed the power of my old YSi setup from gosh 6-7 years ago, felt badass coming off the brake... 9.4@143 1.35 5.99 116mph 680rwhp 18 psi.

Hey Matt it was good talking with you. Sorry again for the delay. Here are some pics of what your cog drive that is leaving today will look like.
First pic is or Proto-Type out of steel second is our production version out of aluminum.
These brackets are tested to 80K RPM on the blower and we have not seen any flex or vibrations.

Here are some pics of this new kit.
I also have a call in to be a supporting vendor. So hopefully they can get that setup today.
Thanks
