We have installed a few Flip drives and they work great! No issues and no belt slip. We have a customer with a F1r running 21-22psi consistantly every pass with a 8 rib setup. Used the same belt for a month before racing season ended with out issue.

I can tell by the bottom picture that you'll need to drill a hole. It's where there's a little ear hanging off the side of the block where the cylinder head meets the block.

The DP Direct drive was a 8.5 drill and a M10X1.5 tap I believe

what was the solution to this problem? I have been fighting a belt squeal and i looked at the alternator side of my cartel flip drive and noticed that the flip drive pulley doesn't seem to be aligned straight with the power steering and alternator. I'm wondering if that is the source of my squeal. I have the lq4 and don't have the third hole.
