That doesn't work for me Mike I don't drink but it's all good. We don't get mad because he takes a lot of pictures you just kinda have to know Kyle he has a tendancy to move really slow sometimes MUHAAHAA J/K Kyle. I can't wait to get the setup on to see what we can get out of this blower.

I have almost as much belt wrap, it appears that there will be less belt wrap on the crank pulley then stock, longer belt is better I think. Lets get one of these on a car that gets some miles/dyno/track time on it already The cog setup 'looked' pretty good too I'm not saying the SD tensioner setup wont work, just it hasnt been tested on a D1 with 14psi on a head/cam motor yet so I dont get too excited about anything until I see one work..

Here is a couple pics of the stock setup slow.
