It's going to go in front of the stock pulley. Not sure how much it will stick out though. Are the P&L headers pretty close to the stock pulley?

gmsii,
I know KW FI product is almost done; but out of curiosity, couldn't the separate drive belt design be single sided than double sided? Similar to my photo chop hacked to a single sided belt drive system? Please see attached. I wonder if KW could explain the reason for double sided gear belt?

The reason why I ask is that Martin mentioned in the shootout KW had some technical difficulties and had issues with the belt system. Seeing you didn't answer my previous questions about the belt system other than telling me to ask the belt manufacturer...would you please address the reason for double sided gear belt system and reason for not going with single sided belt system as shown in the photo attached?

With the setup that you posted the SC will be rotating the wrong way.

Are those existing pulleys or what?!!! Cu adding moving parts is a NO NO in my book.

I guess that's a good reason for going double sided belt... any ideas of any other popular reliable systems using doubled sided gear belt?

It's a bit close to it. I wonder how big the pulley will be!

I had never heard of a double sided belt before this.

KraftWerks · 11-04-2013, 12:39 PM

Should be able to provide a more solid date as soon as the SEMA show has concluded. Half of the team is at the show! Anticipation is great, isn't it?

2013 SEMA Shots

Photos we took with Phastek Performance of the kit. I'll get more detailed photos tomorrow

@gmsii

Have you guys tried to see if one of the headers that comes up in front of the motor will fit with your system. The more I read about other systems eating belts the more I like this kit.
