heres my setup first off:
-built 5.0 stroker, all the fancy stuff, not really important to know right now
-4.0 with 3.5" upper
--->using factory lower caged setup with an innovators balancer.
question i have...blower makes too much torque, and is snapping the front piece off the pulley ring, which obviously, is causing me a lot of issues making boost, haha. i dont want to remedy this issue by feeding the car caged lowers, its expensive, frustrating, and not how i operate. i know they can be welded up, but thats still a bandaid, and they still break. i dont want to drastically change the setup, because it works, most of the time, and it makes power. so here is my dilemma, i want to figure out if there is any way to add reliability to the strength that the cage provides. ive heard of using the gt500 setup, which switches the blower drive to the inner side, and the accessories to the outer side. does anyone know if this can work? looking at pictures, the timing cover looks way to different to allow the accessories to bolt up and maybe even too different to work for even the blower? i dont know, im not familiar with gt500's much. looking to see if anyone has some experience to make this work for me, without doing anything crazy. mainly after the idea of the gt500 setup though due to production castings and increased crank snout strength. hit me with ideas
