RMCR High Mount YSI Set Up Does anyone have RMCR High Mount set up on their F-Body Firebird? I would like to see some pictures, I don't like where my D-1SC is located. I would like to relocate my blower on top of drivers side with cog set up either with YSI or F1.
Any pictures or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have been trying to get hold of these RMCR guys by phone and email for over a month. No response. What kind of business are these guys running?

this is a t-trim that i,m pretty sure mounts pretty much the same as a ysi. Also there,s a couple pics on the rmcr website. the brackets I hear are pretty pricey. I,ve heard the same thing about being hard to get in touch with from more than a couple people. Must be nice to make too much money.

Here's a top secret spy shot of the kit we've been working on. Its built around a YSI, it has cogs on the blower and jack shaft and a cerp belt on the front. We've still got some work to do on getting the AC lines made up but its designed for work from a bone stock setup all the way up to maxing out the YSI. The radiator and fans stay in the stock position pretty much just have to relocate the battery to the trunk. From what we've been able to find nobody has done a setup quite like this, It should blow a D1 away in performance while finally giving you an excuse to get your blower polished!

Ivan I got your email. We are putting the final touches on a forged 5.3 that we will be using for a test setup. Should be a couple weeks and we will have a running setup, keep an eye out for it!

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!

Belt slippage was the most important issue we wanted to over come with our kit which is why we went to a larger Serpentine pulley and are adjusting boost with different size cog pulleys on the back side. We've got more testing to do but its looking to be pretty badass!

with a ysi I,m pretty sure you would have to trim the hood. Mine is just a t-trim and no matter how I arrange the hoses something rubs. when I was getting my car tuned there was a ws6 there running a ysi and thi is how he had his hood trimmed.
