Updates on my YSi blown LT1

[Grr]

Some updates in case you missed it. Made a dual plate setup for the blower to stop the flexing, i made the standoffs, spacers and plates on my small lathe. Added a Tial Q BOV in place of the vortech Mondo, no more problems with pipes blowing off and compressor surge. Also switched from a 30mm cog drive with 68/26 pullies and 3" single bearing tensioner that kept shredding teeth off the belts and was just not able to take the stress, to a 10-rib setup using a 7.8" crank which required some machining to work, 3.25" paxton dual bearing idler which is a manual tensioner, and a 3.12" blower pulley. Belt length ended up being 44.5" which is the only size available in that area, but it fits perfect with this pulley, i may be able to do a 2.95" on the blower the way i have it set up, or could go with the 3.33" if i wanted. I need to move the tensioner slot on the plate a bit to get extra adjustment for any more options.

And some idle vid with the BOV and a quick pull i made this afternoon. That BOV is fucking loud

Did you end up getting the heads done yet?

[Grr]

Yes zac, i will try to get some decent vid this weekend, otherwise next weekend i will be back home and can make a sequel to that one. Jake, i havent touched anything on the car except the blower stuff, i have a set of converted and fully ported Brodix Track 1s sitting on the shelf and a LSx PCM and coil on plug setup sitting there also to go on once i get the couple remaining parts.
