Sorry to hear about your car... Are you allowed to post specs and pix now, or is it still under wraps?
Thanks!

Got the serpentine kit installed in the GTO. Install is straightforward. Needed to replace the power steering pump with one that has a pressed-on grooved pulley. Other than that it was just pulley swaps. All laser-cut stainless steel -- very cool. Very compact.

Ran it in the garage last night - very smooth, quiet and rock steady. If the weather holds, I'll run it down the road on Friday.

I'm waiting on permission from Dan to publish pics. He's working on a bolt-on mod to accommodate A/C.

  • SB Ford - done
  • Pontiac - done
  • BB chrysler - in progress

I have the laser-cut prototypes in my truck. He should be doing the final test fit in a week or so. It's a nice set-up; all the parts stayed in more or less their original positions, just tucked in nice an close. It will minimize re-wiring and re-plumbing.

Any interest?

Bob....soon it'll be a year since this post....any plans on releasing a product?

It's not my product - I'm just the beta tester. Dan moves at his pace, but I did remind him that he has interested potential customers.

I have to honor his requests to keep it confidential. He mentioned that he hopes to file patent apps in a couple of weeks.

Mine has been running going on three years now, with no hiccups.

I dunno what's up with him. I'll drop him an email. Maybe he wants them to be perfect. Maybe he wants to have all makes and block sizes worked out. I know he's a little paranoid about patent theft. Guy holds a dozen patents.
