Ahh, I see there is a gap in the build updates. Maybe I should frequent the forums more often. Every time you need to get to anything on the front of the engine on a viper (belts, alternator, power steering pump etc) the entire supercharger has to come off. During a reinstall, I discovered my factory tensioner pulley was chipped. When trying to change the pulley, the bolt broke, when trying to remove the whole tensioner, I was unable to get to the bolt holding it on with the tools i had without the nut beginning to round. I ran out of leave from work, through in the towel and had it towed to a local shop to have them reassemble it. After a few cruises, 3 of the supercharger bolts backed out. One is missing, another got jammed against a bracket and the third fell out, hit the fan and took out the radiator.What shop did what?? I thought you said you did everything yourself

That's usually my luck! Unfortunately I never get any resolution.
That's gonna look so sick Jeff!!!I made a little progress this weekend. Should have my 3.25" pulley in tomorrow, a small bump from the 3.75" on it now.
