Belt Rubbing From Hell!!!!!
O dude, I know. I have never worked with a company that is so willing to help. If they can ever do anything to help they will and they wikll do it faster than you would ever guess.
So i should make sure they all have the same number of shims. another qeustion, once the belt goes on the blower pulley, it is really close to the j-bracket. should it be that close or should there be some space? if it is not reall close I dont see how adding a shim would make it seperate?

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! I think. The bracket showed up today. Wow I love SDCE, I need to order some t-shirts or something. I started the car up and got under neath it to check belt clearence and it is actually pretty good now. I dunno what happened but everything had some room. So i think it was just flexing.

So does it appear that the belt problem is gone? Obviously you couldn't reallly push it, but no problems last night? What did you change/fix besides adding the new brace?

hopefully i will have some good et's. check allignment around 72 times, changed the belt 4 times. I am pretty sure my first time was correct just the stress from the bracket flexing was hitting something, with the support brace it doesn;t anymore. of coarse i had to grind the j bracket a little to make the 4.25 work.
122mph first time out, drag radials, stock engine... All sounds good to me. I went 122-123 mph when I was 475rwhp and all motor before I did my current setup.
Some folks powershift to keep the boost up but that can be tricky and costly.
