The pulley where the supercharger goes directly down. And you can see it on the pulley. Without a belt you could see the shiney part of the pulley where the belt would be.

Wasn't this priced somewhere near $8000 and $10,000? What the hell is the point in it? For that much you could bullet proof your internals and do a twin screw. Plus SS/SC owners wouldn't have to change their decals...

That was Gravana, they abandoned that project as far as I know.
They reported having to move around components in the engine compartment.
What you see in this thread is a simplified turbo system that feeds the blower. I get the feeling that Gravana was full of it.

There's a lot more to twin charging then just adding a turbo system guys. That's what costs a lot of money. I think a modified M62 setup or a M90 or twin screw swap would be more realistic.

2) 355 ...only on race fuel. Actaully 310.
3) If thats your thinking stage III is 340 with NOS.
4) Twincharging (guessing) should easily be over 300.
Just a few points.

Dont forget when ppl are the first to do something they're probably gonna charge alot and from what i have been reading this setup isnt as complicated as other setups so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
