Still loving my kit years later. Definitely prefer that the supercharger be driven off the crank pulley in line with the other main accessories.
Would you feel comfortable installing this kit on an engine with factory installed mains? I'm still sorting out a replacement engine for my original that failed due to 2 ruined front mains. I want to install the kit but am still reeling from the senseless fail of my original engine....
Pretty sure every kit out there is using the factory mains.. Some elected to change rod bearings and some haven't. I usually recommend rod bearings based on mileage and if an 08-10 build. I've seen issues on kits that don't use this pulley configuration on the mains, but haven't with this kit yet.
