Aster bracket instal look right??
Aster bracket instal look right?? I just installed my aster bracket setup. At the end it says on the tensioner it should be between the top and bottom mark. Does this look right or do I need to move the idler over a hole either way? This is where it sits with the motor off of course. 4.25" blower pulley and 53.5" belt by the way.
Now that I look at it again. The "pulley" I believe you are looking at that you think is off center is actually part of the bracket and not a pulley. It does look like one on the pic though.

Here was mine with the same pulley and belt size
And its been awhile since I looked at mine but you can see that same pulley or whatever it is next to the tensioner that looked out of place in your picture. I think its an ear off the bracket.

Verdad Gallardo Thanks for the pics. Looks like I'm good. Did you gain any boost from switching from the stock j bracket to the aster setup? I'm still stock motor so I'm a little worried about that haha.

I never ran the j bracket, I over built everything from the start so I wouldn't have to swap parts later when I went bigger. I'm on the stock motor too but ended up have to go to a larger pulley to get the boost down to 8psi to keep things happy for now.
Yea I'm at about 12# right now with stock bracket and 4.25 pulley. I hope boost doesn't go up too much!

I was 11psi with the 4.25 and bobs blower cam at 5700. I now have a 4.75 pulley and making 8psi at 61-6200. My biggest problem was the fuel pump was maxed out so I went with a bigger pulley at the time. Eventually ill do a twin pump and put together a bottom end.

Same here, racetronix 255 with the hot wire. I was able to get 550rwhp with it with my afr close, seemed like other people were getting more but oh well. I have meth too just for a little extra fuel and cooling.

I logged the car last night. 13.15# at like 6350 rpm. Going back to the dyno Saturday to see what it makes now. It was at 12# on the stock j bracket and made 664/551 on the 12# @ 6600 rpm
