If you want to spin it harder a 2.9" would fit and spin it to 57K. Buying two vortech pulleys is the same cost as buying one stillen pulley and it will grab better this way.

That is the info I was needing. Thanks!

Time to go spend more $$. Builds would be a lot more fun if they didn't cost so much.........

Me, Willis and Topz all did some modding on the charger side.

I had a new tensioner bracket made, 3" idler pulley. 2.75" on blower, stock Jack and stock serp side.

Ill see if I can find it.

With changing the idler pulley size, is there a need for a new tensioner btacket?

Nope. It just takes up more space to run a smaller pulley setup. We upgraded our brackets cuz we were worried about flex

EVOHUNTER 05-26-2016 03:26 PM

Correct me if im wrong, I had my bracket extended about an inch aswell because my 3" wasn't taking up the required tension? I could be wrong but I swore mine wouldn't tighten down without the extended slot.

I forgot which thread we did this all in? I couldn't find it

Can you find it topz?

EVOHUNTER 05-26-2016 03:26 PM

Found it!!

Mine tightens up with the 3.2 and 3.0 setup. Your 2.75 is small enough to need the extra room.

I have read that thread along with every other thread I could find. I'm not going into this totally blind but there is a lot of information on the forum to digest, which is a good thing!

My plan is to document my build so that anyone else that wants to go the A2A route from the beginning can follow what we all have learned. Time to contribute back into the forum.

All of you guys have been great at sharing information and making the mistakes that I don't have to. THANKS!

Special thanks to Jwillis, man you endured some real trials with what you went through. Next time I'm down in FL I'll buy you a beer or two. Oh, just remembered, you are Capt Morgan guy. I can drink to that!

Correction- I have a 3" supercharger pulley, I had a 2.8 when the supercharged self destructed.

Nice! I want one of these kits! but my z took a dump for the second time this month.... A few weeks ago the dealer said it was the camshaft position sensor and supposedly fixed it. It was doing the same thing today, kept losing power and acting like it wanted to stall out/running sporadically so I rushed over to the dealer before it left me stranded like last time. Water might be getting into something because I just went through the car wash yesterday....maybe they will let me trade it in for a leaf

A leaf? Your in Denver, not Boulder.:icon17:

mikey1600 05-27-2016 07:12 AM

have you got the prices on these as well dude if we bought it included in the full kit price?

Additional supporting mods offered: (at extra charge)
-Rigid pulley tensioner bracket
-Main bracket anti-flex adapter

TopgunZ 05-27-2016 07:21 AM

I can get the tensioner brackets for $100. I could get the main anit-flex for around $250. I havent really been concentrating on those much as i am not sure at what point they are needed and do not want to sell something to someone if they don't really need it. Seems like anyone spinning the supercharger to 56K with the 9psi pulley isn't having issues with it and we cant really spin these too much faster without putting them in danger of self destruction.

If we find a need for them I can/will make some.

Now if we ever step into the V1 or V2 units then thats a whole other ballgame.
