I like the restraint you display- 12% underdrive- good starting point for an 8-71 on a 400.

After torqueing everything together, I hope you also did everything possible to see that the pulley centerlines (crank/idler/snout) are parallel in both (horizontal/vertical) planes. Nothing in this world is perfect, but you should try for as close to perfect as possible. Throwing a belt really isn't "cool"!

I never ran carbs on a blower, hence my question- why "externally boost referenced"? I didn't think the carbs would need to know there's a blower under them?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
