decoupling pulleys
So, this thread had me thinking....
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...r-pulleys.html
Wouldnt something like this be beneficial to a belt driven head unit? Just thinking if the head unit could "free wheel" in between shifts, wouldn't this create less boost loss in between shifts and reduce "shift" belt slipping?
thoughts?

It might cause more problems like compressor surge when you close the throttle during a shift.
Although it might be worth a try, it shouldn't be to difficult to cobble up a pulley with a one way clutch in it.

Vortech did some research a while back, don't know where they are at with it. And I saw this:http://www.atiracing.com/superpulley/index.htm
in ATI Racing's booth at SEMA a few years back.
