dedicated blower belt
has anyone messed with running a dedicated blower belt. this can be for any type of blower. id like to see how you went about it on the crank pulley. ive got some ideas but im not sure if it will cause any problems sticking that much further out from the end of the crank.
i found these crank pulley "rings" that the lightning guys use and it allows them to swap pulleys. i think with a piece welded inside the stock balancer, turned, milled ect for one of these pieces to bolt on in front of the pulley it would work but maybe damage the crank? opinions please
also how about an idler right next to the supercharger pulley to get more belt wrap. take the 6-71 in my sig for an example, although that is the tensioner it provides more wrap on the belt.
my goal would be to not have any belt problems when my tvs 1900 goes on. id like to turn the boost up on it a little bit and dont wanna slip, shred, throw belts all the time

oh that would be so nice! trust me i thought about putting a 6-71 on this thing! ive got 6 of them hanging out in the shop and a 4-71 also. they need a good home! haha. i would get bashed to no end for putting a 40 year old supercharger on a brand new truck.

i didnt see the add on pulleys you mentioned on their site. adding ribs could be an option but seems like it would be a little more difficult to do. how many rib is your setup? i seen you got the 2 blowers which is sick btw but i also seen you are having some problems with belt stretching. now granted thats a lot of hp to drive both those blowers so its asking for a lot. on the roush superchargers the pulley is facing backwards some so my plan was to make one the opposite direction and bring it forward instead.

Heres a couple pics of the one i fabbed.Its a 350 vortec bolt on pulley to a spare cat hub.The hub has a flat back that sits on a 1/8" flat washer that is seated in the stock pulley.They are all pinned together.
