I once had a cog belt break that cost me about $1500.00. When it broke it slapped up in front of the front tire and hit my 12" AFM filter. A piece of the belt and filter was sucked through the still spinning blower. Total carnage.

Ohhhhh Nasty :(
Any good stories,or people who like their cogs??? Come on now,it can't be all bad experiences.

I loved then on my HD s-trim. Very consistant with no problems. I just couldn't get the 35s to last on my YS. Maybe if I had spun it slower. One thing thou, When a cog belt snaps it tends to hang on to the crank pulley for a round or 2. It can crack hoods, tear out tranny lines and what-not. We it's works right they're great and sound great too.Originally Posted by Manns50
Does Vortech make a 10 rib setup to use with the strut support? Their site does not show the holes in any of their pics,I think they use a general pic for all descriptions.

Yup they now make a 8" 10 rib crank. It is $189 from superchargesonline.com. Call vortech for the part number. I just ordered one up and saw it with my own eyes. It is now in the hands of regattacoupe going on his t-trim. I had ASP make me a custom set up.Originally Posted by Manns50

I should have stayed with the cog setup I guess,I just sold them on ebay and I'm going with an 8 rib Renegade setup with the strut support.8" and 2.95,hopefully I'll be o.k. with this setup and can make around 20lb with em.

Blownby,I just got my strut support in the mail and decided to use an 8 rib 8"/2.95 setup.I have to order my bearings for the strut support yet,but do you know if I will have clearance issue's with a Griffin radiator and Mark 8 fan? What type of fan did you use and does it cool well? I haven't mocked it up yet,but was hoping using the 8 rib setup will work without too many issue's.
Let's Roll....
You should be fine with the radiator. I had to trim some of the material off the inlet tube and shorten the rubber elbow as much as possible. It still hit the strut support but nothing major.Originally Posted by Manns50
As for the fan you'll probably have issues. I only had like 3" max clearance. So I ran two individual 12" Zirgo fans. They seemed to work fine. Also you could use their one 16" and offset it so the motor is not in the way of the strut bar. I also ran this. Here is the picture:

Maybe this helps??
The two 12's drew a lot of juice though. www.zirgo.com

I ran the 8" and 2.7", I think the belt was 58 or 58.5" Basically you put the bar on and just spread it till it starts to put tension on it. Hand turns only.Originally Posted by Manns50
I assume you are asking the torque for the bolts that attach the bar to the pulleys. SC is tight you don't want it coming off. So is the crank one. I don't recall there being an exact torque number. You may want to call vortech.
