Gonna be bad ass though when its done!
I've said screw it I'm just selling it a few times. Id lose way to much money if I did. I am eye balling another car. Either I can build this car or buy another slightly built mint condition car.Quote:

I've been this far 5 times and had to take it apart lol. Crossing my fingers lol.
The 54" belt was to short. I ended up ordering a 55.5" belt. I sure hope this is the last speed bump.

Good luck! I'm sure your ready to get it back out!
Keep at It !!!
I can't wait to see this Beast make some passes ... Mostly I just want to see it in person, Because I think it's Fucking Gorgeous, And pics rarely do a car it's full justice ... :bigthumb
Semper Fi
I'm looking forward to seeing it as well, get her done!
Thanks guys. It's getting there. Put the new belt on, bolt the engine cradle, suspension and relocated some wires and hose. Getting close. Found another problem thought. The filter inlet tube is 4". Spent over a hour trying to get it in between the supercharger and radiator. Still no luck.
You have more patience than I do.
Guess what's alive?! Got everything bolted up and went over everything probably ten times. Started it up and let it idle for about 2 minutes. All belts looked aligned and nothing leaked that I could see. Was up till 4am so I'm calling it a night. I'll start fresh tomorrow or the next day before I take it off the jack stands.

Awesome, can't wait to hear how everything works out now.
Outstanding.
Sick setup
Bad ass!!! Hope to see it out soon!
I wanted to start it up this morning but hurricane Cincinnati rolled through and shut off my power. By the time I get home from work it'll be to late to fire it up.
To give you a idea of the size difference between the two.

Badass unit!
That's a big difference!
Definitely a big deference.
I thought that would of been a good thing but from what im being told is I'll have less hp/torque under 5k rpm's. This blower doesn't really shine until it's spun really hard. My motor isn't ready for that yet. We shall see....
Here's the first start up. I took this at 4am so I closed the exhaust so I wouldn't wake the neighbors. The two small belts are slightly rubbing on balancer. I need to shim it maybe 1/16"-1/8". Then she's ready for a tune.

That sounds nasty!!! Almost makes me want one!!!
Just wait until I open the exhaust lol
Dyno appointment is August 3rd. It couldn't come any sooner.
That will be the longest wait ever!!!
I took it out for a quick spin to put a load on the belts and pullies. Everything is still lined up and she felt good. Only gave it half throttle and I can tell she's going to pull.
I bet that made your day! I cant wait to see it out. Bet its a fun ride!
Good deal
I was a little nervous. Cause I'm the one who installed it and all lol.Quote:

Damn that sounds good!!!
Blower is loud as hell too! But I like it!!!
You will never sneak up on anyone with that blower!
Probably not. I could see people turning around to see what was coming even though I was 100 ft behind them.
