Oxidizr did the system, I helped out. Our deal was between us. To duplicate this setup your looking at about $1000

Hey Grip, sorry to thread jack, got a quick question. Did you have to turn your blower pulley backwards to get it to line up with everything else or is your 8rib setup completely different and you didn't have to worry about that? I through a belt today first time out with my mp122hh and can't figure out why. My old setup was exactly the same, only thing that changed was my blower. I even used the exact same blower pulley that i had on my 112, but i had to turn it backwards to get it to line up with everything.

I'm not sure how the production 122 kit is set-up. My setup is different than everyone else's so I had pulleys machined. Anyway, your kit should line right up, no problems. Throwing belts is something I had a big problem with when I first installed my radix kit. One of the biggest benefits of running the Metco 100mm idler pulleys is that they completely eliminated this problem for me short of a faulty belt

maybe sometime in the future but not now.

here are the gasketing materials I am going to use to assemble the blower, just waiting on the stat-o-seals now, I can make a little "how to" assemble the blower if anyone is interested:

here's a video of another EDC blower cammed vehicle with Cam spec's very similar to mine.
I think he has his car idling @ 800rpm and the run was done with cutouts open.
thoughts about idle quality?

was the 04 GTO a 5.7L?

I emailed this guy and this is what he said about the idle quality

"Drives awesome. Low speed driveability is all in the tune. Calibrate the RAF table, play with timing. VE table of course needs tweaking. Idles pretty mild, runs great."

which is exactly what I was looking for, damn, I wish those stat-o-seals would show up!

Yes, the 04 GTO was a 5.7L. The GTO sounds good, not overkill on the cam for a fun street vehicle.

excellent!, maybe with a few extra cubes(6.0L) it will be just about perfect
