Default Crank bolt problem with Vortech
My crank pulley bolt keeps coming loose after the supercharger install! I did a search and read about pinning the crank, what kit will work best with the vortech setup and will it stop this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I just installed a brand new SLP 402 so I figured that I would just pin it. I did some reading and it seems that some kits will work with the Vortech pulley and some won't, Which one will work best?

ATI pin kit for one that has a new dampner with the kit. And use the one that comes with the Magi kits for a factory balancer.
