If I ever to get it again I may call stillen and ask for that spacer and then reinstall the idler pulley.
btw- any way to get a better belt than the gates k040220 for the actual blower.... seems like ive been tearing through a new one every 6-9k miles. Guy at one of the shops said its due to the pressure put on that belt in conjunction with the extreme heat under the hood from the blower.

Good to hear nice things about Stillen. I'm looking for usable power the roots blower gives.

this is the first i've heard of that.... ^^
My gates belts always seem like every other belt and eventually just crack and need to be replaced. My gatorbacks havent cracked and they run quieter, I never get any squeal. They seem stronger too. Just about everyone I have talked to has told me that gatorbacks are the best until you guys. weird.

M-90 blower

Am going to do the upgrade myself
Some people have done the calculations and at the blowers max of 12 pounds it should expect to make 450+ or so RWHP correct me if i am wrong.
I dont think I am going to shoot for this much right away as a lot of turbo guys have been popping there motors with less on stock internals.
I got 440 cc injectors to avoid temptation and not 550's to keep my power levels down around 400 RWHP or less.
I got used SS box from a Vortec kit that a forum member sold me cheap around 200.00 to tune with.
The limiting issue is the small water to air intercooler. I am testing a
water injection setup ... I think it will work as its working real nice so far on my stage 3 pulley especially with the summmers here in socal. Also water sprayed directly on the FMIC/radiator would work well too I think.

Prototyping an intercooler is EZ
But there is no room to move the SC anywhere !
So you would need to modify the hood with a huge mucle car type bulge to fit it.... a 6 inch Duffy hood
If it looks rice enough the cops wont think it looks too suspicious
