    I want to chop the snout down so that the pulley is really close to the base of the snout, then flip the supercharger around so that the pulley is on the otherside of the engine. then mount that whole thing into my camaro so that the pulley is in the back. then run a jackshaft down the side of the supercharger and attach a pulley to that.

    then i can save some space in my maro for the m90 and simplify the design.

    BUT, i need to swap the snout to face the traditional gtp's firewall so that when all is said and done, the supercharger rotates the correct way.

    I have been looking at a few pictures and it appears that the holes are not quite axially symmetric. may need some finagling to get it to work.

    Not familiar, but will look into it.

    But what are you trying to gain? You are using the same SC, so I would imagine you would not gain much HP.

    Looked at them, and now I see what you mean. Seems like a lot of fab work to get it done. And I would imagine you would have to fab up your own cog pulley as well and run a short cog belt.
