Ok so i have a supercharger pulley being made thatll be 2.75". My question (noob question) is what is the best way to prevent slippage? Should i overdrive a different pulley? Different belt? Or cann the tesioner compensate (prob not)? Thanks and sorry for a stupid question! Still learnin!

The only thing that I have heard across the boards has been to use a gatorback belt. Past that I don't think there is anything else you can add to ensure it doesn't slip. You may have to change the belt more often thou.

A little off topic, and maybe a stupid question, but do you have a SC 959? On a 2nd gen? I thought Brutal, sandtoy, and sexterra, and sandy were the only SC 2nd gen. trucks here.

tensioner may do a bit and if you spray a bit of belt conditioner on there like once a week itll cut the slip a lot if not totally. ill eventually do a timing belt on my charger

Thanks dubie2003 and mudslinger! Will keep that in mind! Yeah had one for almost a year already but still havent put it in. Its the stillen for 2nd gen. I got it used for pretty cheap. Just been trying to piece some parts together so i can just install everything at one time while im down there. Also been saving for Uprev but every time i was about to get it, something comes up and there goes the money. Lookin to get that by the end of the month (hopefully). Man i cant wait to get the supercharger in though. The blower just stares at me everyday when i leave the house!

Dude, that would be really hard letting that SC just sit there. Man it would be haunting me in my sleep. If it decides it needs a new home I promise I can find it a nice loving home for it with lots of attention & care. I promise .
Anyway I wish you well getting it installed. Keep us updated on it please. A SC is still one of those things I keep thinking about. Cant afford or justify the cost of a new one, but I would love to come across a nice used one like you & some others did.

Ok after some looking (a LOT of looking) for belt info. Would this one fit?
Gates belt 4071130
Its a 7 rib 113"
Should work but any thoughts?

 

[mudslinger]

does stillen recommend a belt or anything? not sure if itll fit just cause i have a first gen but i just put the charger on then did the ol' string around the pulleys trick then got someone to take me up to the store to get the right size belt. saved a few bucks in belts.

I would recommend that you drop Brutal a PM on that.

I'm another one on here, I just don't get a chance to post as much as I would like. Kind of a sleeper, just like the truck. Brutal helped me a bit when I had some questions about mine, so like dubie said, you might be able to PM him and get some help.
