sounds exactly like the TIMROD method plus two idler pulleys, unless it was a revup engine and then would be a little different

IMO this is probably the best serp belt routing you can do.

you can add in another idler pulley on that last long stretch of belt, but it probably really isn't needed unless you're desperate.
It would require the belt to be longer and wouldn't give the belt as much time too cool off

thats it! it is the diagram to the right. and the engine is a non rev-up.

I actually would prefer the one on the left . Im just thinking here , but I would think the more pulley's you run the hotter the belt would run . The belt is turning to fast to have time to cool off as some might think . Either of thoughs setups will for sure help to provide more boost with a serp setup . Combined with a way to bleed boost off right at or close to the point of slippage [ more than likely 14 to 16psi ] would make for a hell of a set up . I wish I would of thought of it or had it come out before I got the cog set up . WOuld have been less costly and less head aches .

could be that you'll be the first with the reported dyno. You just never know what you'll encounter when you dyno - might find that you can't get enough fuel for a good tune to be made and that has to first be addressed

interesting. wonder if his injectors are too small. Thats the only thing that could really cause a problem. Shouldnt be belt slip bc ive seen over 15psi with no slip. And you guys said that the BPV flows enough air. Cant wait to hear the report!!
