As a BOP belt drive user, I would like to know how another belt is more proven and better/stronger than the BOP belt which I have not heard that its had any failures.
Fixing something that isnt broke imo. I understand that Wade doesnt make a tall deck belt drive any more and that is why they are building one so why not just say that instead of our belt is proven and its better/stronger? |

Just because a belt has not been used to turn a camshaft does not mean that it does not a have long and prove history in industrial use where it may have handled must great loads. Stan

Please note that nowhere did I say that there were any problems with the BOP's belt or another part of that system. Stan

So who else is currently running this different manufacture belt system to be proven stronger and better? Is it available to the public? |

... seriously, relax ok ? ... Bruce is just repeating something he was told ... Bruce is not stating the BOP system doesn't work, and work well ... ... the belt being used in 572 build is basically a "Prostock" level piece, it's larger in size and has higher load capacity, Bruce is just stating a fact, nothing more, Bruce did not make any claims of BOP failures Brian ... ... i talked directly to Wade about the tall deck belt issue i was faced with, as Wade did not have any, but willing to make more, just for me, but the cost was high, as Wade would have to make just one unit for my engine, which the cost was understandable high ... ... i told him i appreciated his time, but we'd try to find a cheaper alternative to my belt-drive problem, Wade was very helpful to me and i appreciated his help ... even he understood me not wanting to spend over $3,000 for just one belt drive ... ... Wade was very easy to talk to, and makes a nice product, i think we all know that ... |

Since we are on the subject... Are belt drives worth any measurable horsepower or is the benefit more or less reduced valvetrain harmonics?

Reduced Valvetrain harmonics? Would be high on my list as a possible reason. Tom V.

Again, I really hope they get the engine/car together so that Jack, Jeff, Mike, and the rest of the ECM guys can skull drag their stuff down the track at Norwalk this August.

King Kinslers ride is going to be a little hotter come this year also. If he makes it to Norwalk he will be hard to beat for a lot of people. |

1st off... Its NOT a 1" belt! Its a wider stronger belt used on certain non Pontiac applications... It may be different length than a BOP spec'd belt.
It may or may not be available for production or for those needing a replacement for their tall deck. Dont know if their are production plans for standard deck with similar width belt. This one is for the IA tall deck Bill is putting together. |
