doest that allow you to keep underdrive pullies and then still overdrive the blower? read that it runs the a/c etc etc on the stock belt or something?

I want it...........guess I need a blower first though

You wouldn't be able to use an underdrive crank. You'd have to use the dual belt crank pulley that comes with the kit.

I believe at this point everyone is as they still have not released it. I also think it is for the whipple only as they have the whipples on their test cars and developed it for them solely at this point.

Right now at a 3.2" pulley and a thumprr, I have 0 belt slip with a 6 rib. Hell I am still on my original belt after 13k miles.

Now if I end up running 14-16 psi, I might think about this puppy.

Where do you guys get your replacement belts from? I emailed Whipple months ago about getting one but they never replied.

Might belt has slipped on occasion. You'll know when it happens because the whine dies and so does the power. I've been using the same belt for 10,000+ miles as well.

If this thing is $500, then i'll have one, if much more, then no thanks.

3.2 pulley? You were worried about running a 3.4 and now you are at 3.2?
