Just don't run a cog belt. 10 rib should work fine. Who's having issues?

Chad runs a cog on a system from House of Boost. It's been completely trouble free, both when he had the manual and with the auto.

I'll be using a A&A 10 rib set up,ill let you know in about 4-6 months how it works out.Its taking a little while on my motor.Its a Briggs built Dart LS next with the mid sleeves with All Pro heads ect. ect.I'll be on E85.There are several big HP cars with F1-X's on both 10rib and cog that work great.If I were going COG It would be the HOB set up.

10 rib and DP DD is all you need. If there is belt issues the alignment is wrong. We have a car making 1460rwhp with a F1x here with DP upgraded 10 rib DD system.

a lot of issues come from cog drives + stick shifts in vettes..

I found the best thing for me was just take my car to Advanced Modern Performance in arlington Tx.. say " hey.. here is an f1x.. make this stuff work".. and then go back and pick it up once it was done by far the best automotive decision i have made..
