Default A&A 8 rib upgrade kit work with ProCharger?

does the A&A kit work with a ProCharger system? I was under the impression it does when I ordered but the place I ordered it from is saying it won’t and I need ProCharger’s 8 rib update kit specifically.

You need the A&A procharger bracket/etc, not just the 8 rib upgrade kit.

So no it does not, without buying a new bracket/etc. The A&A bracket is far superior so not a bad idea to just swap out and do it.

I know your previous suggestions have been spot on but I’m so far over budget now it’s not even funny, Matt from Tick has managed to just swap the pulleys in the A&A kit with the ProCharger specific ones I need. So I’ve got the 10% OD innovators west balancer, which is how this upgrade even started. Anyway real quick if you could, what’s the smallest safest size blower pulley you would use? P-1SC-1, stock bottom end, I’m not looking for max anything just a good safe size selection. 4.10” is what was on it.

is that smallest possible the motor can handle as is? Or smallest possible with the proper modifications needed to run max boost? Or just **** it, send it....smallest possible. No matter what?

Or smallest that the blower will support without over spinning it.

so P1SC1 10% overdrive harmonic and the 8 rib kit, I was thinking 3.8” maybe 3.7”? I don’t care how much boost or anything, I want as much power at the lowest boost honestly and don’t want to even get into a possible over spin situation if I can avoid it.

I ended up going with a custom blower cam from Cam Motion, had Khole at AHP involved in the selection as well being he’s doing my heads. He gave me a 👍🏻

118+4 234/254
lift .648/.631@1.8 rocker

3/8x.135 push rod/7.800 length.

Thanks for all the input, maybe I’ll post a “rebuild thread” when this is all done, not sure if it’s worthy of its own thread though. 🇺🇸

Can't order pushrods until you measure, at least not if you want to do it correctly.

Yeah I didn’t know any of that but I had AHP in the loop on all this, Khole specifically told me the push rod length after I sent him him the final cam grind numbers. I definitely didn’t just pick on my own.
