We have not. It will work, just not worth the money or problems IMO.

well, if anyone decides to try it, i have a stock crank pulley for cheap. but i agree, excess spendage on alt/ps/whatever else isn't worth the hassle imo.

Not only will it wear things out quicker, but it'll also be more drag on the motor.

You're better off with using a smaller blower pulley. The RADIX isn't as prone to belt slippage as some others have. A 2.7 should supply 12psi to a stockish 5.3, but I don't think you need that much boost. I think it would run better with less.
