i wonder what it would look like if one were to make a custom scoop into the hood kinda like that audi tt ( i think it was an audi...it was blue)

I had to shim the compressor off the bracket a bit to line the pulleys, the other brackets will need to account for that. When the pulley was installed on the compressor it sat out a bit farther than we first thought it would but I think it positions it in a better spot. Things are going fairly well. I guess I'm only worried about getting a mushroom filter to fit on the compressor intlet now because it's closer to the fender. The exit is coming very close to the washer tank hole so the install may require very little cutting than initially thought.

Way to go chris

If this kit isn't way over the mentioned 2500 I'll probably be in! I just found some 3.0 heads to put back on my block.

I'm pretty definate I'll get this kit if all goes well with the fabing of the parts. I hope there are more updates soon!

Well I was able to get the bracket where I want it. The hood shuts but if I press on the hood it touches the supercharger. I'm going to check my stock hood and see if there is a difference between it and the predator hood. I also have some issues with the 01-02 timing covers because the tensioner is in the way of the belt routing. I may have to make a custom tensioner for the timing cover or have some secondary pulley holding the belt up slightly so it doesn't hit the tensioner on the timing cover.

Going to a shop today to get the custom coolant tank design finished so I can have a small lot of them made for the first few kits. When I get a tank that will work I can work on the belt routing a bit more.

would it be possible to run your set up without a/c? i know with the vortec kit the a/c pulley needs to be there to get it tight enough around the pulley.

Blackcoog · 11-19-2006, 07:12 PM

Since I'm running of a seperate belt it will not matter if the AC is there or not.

Actually, it really doesn't need to be there... If you use a stock Cougar w/ AC belt instead of the Vortech supplied belt, remove the A/C compressor and the belt will fit VERY snug...

Here is a pic of my assembly that I will be running this summer...

Only thing is, you would need to leave out the supplied Idler Pulley and bracket... I bought the kit from another member, and they never had a problem with it @ 15k miles on it....

Blackcoog · 11-21-2006, 05:12 PM

Just to reiterate the kit in this thread runs off of a seperate belt so any AC changes will not affect this kit.
