Just let me know guys. I am game to chat away. Lets do this!

Anyone have any ideas on what to do? How about a party room at Pizza Joint? Sit around and do some bench racing.

Will it handle?

I am tired of seeing my bike sitting in the garage. Discuss.

There needs to be a disclaimer somewhere just because these are Sam's old jeans does not mean you will attract the same pussy as he does.

Hmm. Sounds exciting for sure.

Keep me in the loop Hal

Now I know these are not the cleanest pics of an engine bay. At the time I took the these pics, we finally found a solution to supercharger belt issues on my fathers car. I know it is dirty and full of belt dust. I also know there is a rib missing on the belt that you will see in these pics. All of this is from trial and error and we now have found a solution. This is what a stock vortech supercharger kit looks like on a 5 Liter Mustang. http://titanserver.servepics.com/Titan%20Server/Pictures/Howard You can see that Vortech does not offer much in the way of belt wrap using the stock tensioner pulley. Getting a belt to stick is next to impossibe with anything smaller then a 2.95 pulley on Vortech's "S" Trim supercharger. Most people either put VHT which makes a mess on the belt or some other sort of belt dressing. Well last winter we came across a upgraded version of the blower that we are running called a "T" Trim. The blower is physically the same size for the most part. I believe the Volute is just a tad bit bigger. Switching to a T trim resulted even a bigger problem with the belt slipping on the crank. It was now time for a solution. We started off running the same 7 " Crank Pulley and 2.75" with the new blower. This was a 10 rib setup. The S-trim blower is good for about 680 crankshaft hp while the T-trim is good for about 825 crankshaft hp. Unfortnately it takes more hp to spin this blower which made our belt slipping issue a bigger one. So our first solution was single idler pulley opposite of the tensioner which is seen here. http://titanserver.servepics.com/Titan%20Server/Pictures/Howard http://titanserver.servepics.com/Titan%20Server/Pictures/Howard As you can see this improved belt wrap around the supercharger but did not leave much room between the stock tensioner and my idler. But it was enough to get the belt to stick using the T-Trim. A perfect solution for the S-trim as well. But we now had a new problem. We were not making as much boost with the bigger blower and not making as much power either. What gives?. Vortech's T-trim likes to be spun a lot more rpm then the S-trim. Pulley for Pulley, A S-trim will out do a T-trim up to about 15 psi. At this point the S-trim is out of steam. It starts to pump hot air and loose its efficiency. Actual impeller speed where this blowe hits a wall is at 48,000 to 50,000 rpms. This about the speed where the T-trim starts to shine and make HORSEPOWER!!. The Trim will do close to an impeller speed of 60,000 rpms and support 20 psi. To do this meant going to a 8" Crank Pulley and a 3 inch blower pulley. Now we were back to square one. We were spinning the blower much faster for a given engine rpm that the single idler did not give us enough wrap. Time to take it the next level.. This is the final design. We are now pushing over 20 pounds of boost and moving well over 800 hp worth of air through our mild 351 cubic inch windsor. Belt slip is gone and the car now is an absolute beast. http://titanserver.servepics.com/Titan%20Server/Pictures/Howard http://titanserver.servepics.com/Titan%20Server/Pictures/Howard http://titanserver.servepics.com/Titan%20Server/Pictures/Howard Thanks for looking at my little invention.

I am going to be very interested on how this all turns out. That is one clean SN95 that you have. Car hooks like no other car on drag radials too.

I bet he ends up with a C6 Z06 after it is all said and done

lol

some of us cannot see this thread.

All those beer cans sitting behind the bike does not look like a good combination. lol

I will be attending this year.

+1 for Ed Curtis. I am sure Rob has seen outstanding results using his parts as I have. His Heads and Cams make power!!!! I have two different mustangs that I will be tuning next month with his parts. I am excited to see the results.

Have him get in touch with me!

It is our little secret!!! If anyone asks what you are doing with it. Tell them you picked up a part time job delivering mail.. I just do not think I could used to driving from the wrong side of the car.

At least you had swiss ch eese for awhile.LOL ! I never understood why they did not have swiss cheese here in columbus.

Funny as hell!

+1. However, I bet the honda would pick up more "chicks" then a vette!!

If someone buys this, bring it over to the motorcylce dyno so we can verify 1 wheel hp !!! LOL

I am anxious to see what the headers do for the car.

I believe that is still Kyles Car.

The more info the better.

I am not a fan of the suspension nor the trannies in dodges. However, I wanted the cummins over the power stroke which meant I had to go Dodge.I did go with the 6 speed manual which should last longer then dodge auto. My truck of choice would be a Ford Super Duty with a Cummins.
