This photo is in the 2003 Cobra brochure. I don't think it's a SVT Cobra engine or at least I hope not. What do you think? If not, what car did it come out of?

Take a look at the picture again guys. The motor does have two belts. The second one isn't visible from that shot. The difference with the belt configurations is that the lightning's alternator is not driven by the blower belt. It is driven with the other accessories. If you look at the lower left you can see the A/C compressor. That along with the P/S pump and water pump have their own belt.
The only problem I see is that increasing the lower pulley size for more boost will require a modification or removal of the lower idler pulley. Look at how close they are together. This will be interesting to see how the tuners overcome this.
