Wow that is some really trick parts. I am interested in seeing how your supercharger handles the increased speed. Good luck!!

Very nice bro. Its gonna look **** if nothing else

Hey, can you direct me to the thread where you did the idler pulley upgrades for max belt wrap? I may have to look into that. Im still getting some slippage and the belt is pretty damn tight. Im thinking thats where my boost went on the dyno run and why I feel a surge in power sometimes at WOT. I cleaned off the belt dust before any runs at the track and now I have belt dust on the blower again. You'd think that 3.70 pulley would grab enough belt lol

That is pretty slick right there. You are fully on the way to maximizing the Radix system. Now we just have to talk you into installing all those parts

Are the new 8 rib acc. pulleys smaller to keep them running at the same speed as with the 7.5 crank pulley, or are the same size as stock?

same as stock. the larger crank pulley will overdrive them about 7%. So if I use my projected track shifting rpm of 6500 that would be equivalent to approx 6950rpm(using the stock 7.5" crank pulley). Obviously, my engine will spend very little time at this rpm over its lifetime. good question

Full 8 rib should help the slip a lot on that rig. That crank pulley looks huge!
