recommendations on headunit bracket
i have one of the original procharger brackets on my p1sc1 and i'm setting sail to better seas.
what headunit bracket would you guys recommend that could support a p1 and possibly an f series for future? i'm most likely going to be purchasing the dp direct drive at the same time so looking for some advice from experience.
thanks guys!

I am running the latest Procharger bracket with my F1-R. It should be good enough to support a F1-A by its self with 8-rib pulleys. Any bigger than that I would install a FlipDrive/DirectDrive system to get max belt wrappage around the blower pulley.

I have an ecs procharger bracket and really like their design... it has a manual screw tensioner that makes changing the belt easy and you can also get the belt super tight when paired with their spring tensioner... from what I've seen the a&a bracket only has idlers and aren't adjustable (correct me if I'm wrong)... i would also check out dallas performance, more than likely you will end up with one of those 3 choices

i'm having a disconnect on the different pieces i will need and what i will need to purchase. i understand the direct drive will split all the accessories away from the supercharger pulleys. so if i order ecs bracketing and a dp direct drive, am i going to need anything else?

I would get ecs' tensioner along with the bracket if you go with them... they are both already setup for 8 rib so there's no need to have to upgrade those later on unless you go 10 rib which probably wouldn't be necessary since you are also getting a direct drive

Did you guys see this? Do you know what version this is? Is this what your ecs bracket looks like? When you ordered yours from ecs it came with the tensioners right?

no, that one is pretty old... I ordered a whole kit from them and it did come with a tensioner... if you buy the tensioner itself I think it is around $250... here is a pic I took when installing mine, not the best pic but you can see the screw tensioner towards the middle of the bracket
