Topgunz - air to air upgrade

Is the anti-flex bracket necessary if you do not plan on pushing big power? My goals are only around 450ish to keep it manageable.

I would run this bracket no matter what, doesn't matter the power.

Go out to your car, Grab your Supercharger belt and twist it.

Watch the whole blower flex towards the back of the car, very flimsy.

If you can do this with your fingers, imagine how much it flexes under heavy load.

I did this and found no flex at all. Perhaps my bracket is different?
