Factory MAF

Those Jet ones are snake oil. They don't do anything.

I don't know if you guys have a belt chosen yet, but if they make a gatorback in the size that you need, I would try that.

With my Monte Paxton build, that was the only belt that I tried that didn't slip when I hit boost.

Looks like they have already addressed the belt slipping issue.

Now using two 6203 sealed high quality bearings with each idler pulley instead of the single 6003 bearing of the original design as that far exceeds any of the loads and RPM's these will turn at.

We also are making them as large of diameter as we can fit for better wrap on the supercharger pulley for less slip. This will be especially beneficial to those that opt for the 3.5" pulley VS the standard 3.8".

More coming as we progress!

Don't know where they are getting their info at but the original idler pulleys both had dual ceramic bearings, they sent upgrades to all of us. The only time the belt would slip was with a 3.125" pulley and high heat from staging lanes.

You also need to mock it up in a real engine bay, the volute is going to hitting a few things with that wide spacer.

It is going to be mocked up this week in a real engine bay. This is just a donor LFX engine just to make brackets and such
