Thanks
Yes you can use the 8ribs belt on the Supercharger and 6 ribs on the accessory, although you have 8 ribs pulleys, I did and its working fine.

I was told that the power steering 8 rib pulley would not clear the bracket. Your's did clear with a 8 rib power steering pulley?

It was a nice display too, that red HPE/ProCharged C5 Z06 with the suede interior was real sweet.

I'm semi new to the super charger scene and wanted to know if this makes a difference on a car that doesn't currently have belt slipage issues. I have a novi 2200 with 3.25" pulley stock crank pulley 8 rib conversion.

I have a similar setup with a 3.00" 8 rib pulley. I dont believe I am slipping at the blower. I think I might be slipping at the crank. The wrap around the crank with the single belt leaves alot to be desired. With the flip drive setup, the crank is going to be wrapped much better. That is where I believe I will pick up boost and power.

How does the flip drive fit with an ECS kit?

Estimated time of install?

It clears the 8 rib pulleys.

Some cars need it more than others, this is obviously dependent on the power level, setup, etc. While it is possible to see no power gain, it will be unlikely to see no gains whatsoever. Usually at minimum there is some boost/power picked up in the midrange with no increase in peak boost (typically on a car below 600 rwhp). At the very least you are gaining reliability and increased belt life, with a much higher ceiling on max power potential for the future.

It fits very well and has fit very well for many of our customers.

Estimated time of install?
Depending on skill level and tools on hand, between 4 to 6 hours.

This is still the current price.

As always... any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I have 794rwhp and 700rwtq. I would have thought that it would pick up mostly on the top end were boost is highest. Interesting more midrange is what I'm looking for. That and coupled with a bit more boost and some other goodies.

Max do you have back to back dyno pulls with just the flip drive installed? I mainly would like to see boost curves before and after.

Thanks.

What is the 8 rib belt part number for the flip drive and latest A&A bracket? 10% OD crank and 3" blower pulley.

We used a K080537 (54.25") with a 2.85 blower pulley. The next size up is a K080545 (55.125").

Hey guys, we are back from a family event that was overseas.

Sorry for any delays on responses regarding the HPE “Flip-Drive” kit as well as the HPE supercharger kit.

We had several emails and messages with people asking questions about pricing. Just too clear things up…the retail price of the HPE “Flip-Drive” unit is $789.95 (free shipping anywhere in the continental US). This price is still good and will remain for the entire year of 2011.
Any questions don’t hesitate to call.
