I helped a little bit on "testing" some pulley setups, running pulleys daily that they didnt put out for the regular customers, like the 19psi pulley i was running, In the beginning i went through 2 belts, the first i didnt have tight enough and it had belt slap on the lower mount, the second broke because of the smaller old pulley set up, we found out gates didnt recommend that small of a pulley, once we got the new pulleys, i went 12k with zero issues and over 450hp. i updated some pulleys, smooth to toothed pulleys and when we did the belt was over tightened and snapped. my friend did it while i was installing a kit. I knew it was to tight but it was late and i figured it loosen it the next day. it had a very loud whine, the next day didnt come and the belt snapped. he tighten it like a serpentine belt and made it way to tight. my laziness caused that breakage, if i would've loosened it it would still be here today
So ive been asked locally what i think of the kit. I tell them all i would buy it again. i have no regrets. For me the kit works, it was the power delivery i wanted, more power then i ever thought id get. And while i love sitting and playing around with some high powered Turbo cars around here. i know for sure no doubt id get this kit all over again. maybe not the 19psi pulley i had, but i dont have no issue with this kit. I am 1000% happy with my purchase. Ive been trying to get the owner to pick one up for the shop FRS.
