It is the only way to go when you have a Centri Charger. I did a full write-up on the Flip Drive install with pics and I love mine

If you are going to post on an open forum,,you have to assume there are lots of folks unfamiliar with what you are talking about!! We ARE enthusiast,,and probably interested,,,so it is just common courtesy to post in terms that most people understand!! This looks like a cryptic code for just the insiders to understand which equals waste of your time and ours to post and read!! So,,,WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
!! Sorry couldn't resist that last part
!! I am curious.

Isn't that the truth.
But finally, there is a solution! For the C5 and C6 Corvette, “The Flip Drive”, by Hormilla Performance Engineering, will solve all the problems that have plagued previous supercharger systems. It’s easy to install, inexpensive, and highly upgradeable!
The patent-pending design of “The Flip Drive” redistributes power to key engine accessories, alleviating the tremendous strain your supercharger poses on your belt system. Through the flip drive you create a more direct line of power transmission between the crank and the supercharger head unit. The Accessories are now spun by the rear plane of power that was once before used solely by the AC compressor.

For you who are a little confused as to what the Flip-Drive is, well it s a innovative design that seperates the Centrifgul Supercharger belt from the rest of the serpentine belt system! allowing the supercharger to be on its own and be a shorter belt and better performance

Let me clarify whats going on. Before Corvettes or Carlisle, we announced a free "Flip-Drive" give away. You had to come to our booth for a ticket and we would announce the winner when we returned. 3someC5 is the winner. It looks confusing because we didn't post this "give away" in the C5 tech section.
Congratulations! 3someC5
Congratulations!
3someC5 Now it makes so much more sense!!! Congrats!
