Cogs are not going to happen at this time, that is not the approach. Car should make 20 lbs of boost with a properly set up 8 rib setup. Our custom tensioner setup should not be difficult to use it won't be like using a drive ratchet and a 6 foot breaker bar.

 

Ok Kevin <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> I won't say anything else about cogs then. I just think it might be a little easier on the stock crank considering it's also going to be putting up with alot of HP. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

<strong> Scott, once you get your 8 rib setup on the car, can you let me know how many ft lbs your tensioner is (poorly constructed sentence alert).

Anyone know the stock tension of Vortech and ATI D1 kits?

I'm shooting for a number above 200 ft lbs as an FYI, I'll share more info on this secondary issue once we get it all in the car... </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Some puleys don't require that much tension. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

OBTW. I have a friend who owned his own machine shop. He still has the lathe in his garage, which I wired into his service (I'm a EE). He said he would do a set of custom cogs made out of billet unobtanium for $1500. He'd even throw in the shipping... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

SC-

That is all.
