Drivejunky has just come out with their new system that features the supercharger belt that only runs one thing, the supercharger. The belt length is short, and runs a gates heavy duty automatic tensioner, similar to their limited production Magnuson and Whipple blower builds. The tensioner can be seen under the custom machined cover on the front of the engine. This drive system simplifies and shortens the belt run that the factory engines run in Corvette and Cadillac CTSV configurations. The blower drive, and accessory drive belts feature Gates’ new RPM Racing belt made from a High-modulus, low-stretch polyester tensile cord with the strength to transmit load more accurately with less vibration. All accessories run on a separate belt behind the blower drive. This is the first system that solves the potential bearing failure problem by running the GM type II pump with a 6 rib belt (normal) rather than the 8 rib blower belt.
