Thanks Robert - I told you I'd have the write up done in the morning before work - Wheeew was I cutting it close though

I'm glad you liked as well as others and I "REALLY" hope others can benefit by it too. I hope others can add to it with their experience too

:t oetap:

Thanks,Matt

Great write up. Maybe some time down the road for me, looks like a lot of work.

UPDATE: EDIT Added

I forgot a step of adding the PS Fluid and the part number we need - Our Vettes use a Synthetic Fluid and none of the stores had it, so I had to go to the GM Dealership

This marked as 19A on the third (#3) post!
19A. Make sure you add POWER STEERING FLUID and follow the instructions of turning the steering 20 times back and forth (It is in our Drivers Handbook on how to do this)- Our manuals call for a Synthetic PS Fluid, I could not find any anywhere so I went over to the local GM Parts dealer and got a Pint for $13
GM Part # 89020661

You can remove the bolts w/o removing the pulley, Ive done it many times on my car (changing heads) and a quite a few other cars. It takes little turns a time but is possible.

FYI: GM Part # 89020661 is not "Synthetic" PS fluid. Its just good old fashioned mineral oil based with some additives.

madmatt9471

Well that's just great

I guess I just wanted to be sure and not jack anything up - Dang I coulda just bought it at PEP

DANG MANUAL

Thanks for the input and it sure would of been nice of the "STEALERSHIP" to inform me of that (I heard the dude looking at the book while I was on the phone )

Thanks,Matt

My BAD!

I tried with a couple of different wrenches and just couldn't get that Turkey off, Maybe it felt at that point "IMPOSSIBLE"

Thanks for the input Hopefully I'll never have to try it again

Thanks,Matt

Great write up! Can't wait to see some new power numbers.

Ya they can be a pain in the butt some times. In your case with having the ABS in back your method was probably easier anyways.

Matt,
Great write up. I don't see anything about this kit that keeps it from being ussed with a Maggie. You are great to include corrected belt sizes and all.
This may go on my Must have list!
Steve

Me Too!

I went ahead and decided to go over the Radiator with the Air Inlet Tube before the Dyno - I have the stuff on its way as I write - I got it from another forum member form a good price

I will keep my Airbridge and use the pipe from the ProCharger to the front as seen in the pic below:


From:


I have the brackets coming from A&A to slide the radiator down a bit in order to go up and over - man this is getting real interesting - One of these days I "MUST" stop

Thanks,Matt

Hey Steve i don't see why not!

I mean all the pulleys line up in the same way (Meaning in line) on any belt driven SuperCharager.

Keep us posted when you do yours and maybe a write up too

Thanks,Matt

Steve@RSD

Matt,
Maybe I will bolt in on my forged motor before I install and not have to crawl under. Now you got me wondering about that alternator pully. I don't remember it looking like yours.

madmatt9471

STEVE!

I just realized you are in VACAVILLE CA, My Grandmother lives there and my wife, daughter and myself were just up there visiting my Grandmother in the Hospital (Cancer)!

We will be making another trip in a couple of weeks to see her again!

Where is your shop? Send me the info address and or Phone number (Here or PM me) and I can swing by

Thanks,Matt

madmatt9471

I'd "TOTALLY" suggest it! It would be soo easy and you could pretty much run all the belts before hand!

DO IT!

Thanks,Matt

Steve@RSD

PayPal me the extra $1000 to do it!

madmatt9471

Do you want the 4% too

Get me the info on the shop and I'll swing by when I go to Vacaville in a few weeks

Thanks,Matt
