Ok, Evan. Here is where I was wrong. The supercharger drive pulley is a ribbed serpentine device of certain diameter. I don't know what diameter, do you? I did say "number of teeth". I knew after I read the post I was wrong but I figured everyone would know what I meant. I was wrong there also. Forgive me I guess I am still a little old school. Where I am NOT wrong and I would be willing to bet you on is that NHRA will soon come out and make it known that the stock pulley of the correct diameter and part number must be used. Now you asked me to name names. OK, here goes. When NHRA almost dissolved the FWD classes 3 years ago I was deeply involved in it's restructuring. This is widely known among the FWD guys. While working on the restructuring I spoke with many of the "upper crust" of the organization. Among other things, we decided the AF/S class weight break should be a 13lb. class and alow the newer FWD cars coming out of Detroit a place to compete. Cars such as the SRT4 Neon, SS Cobalt, Pontiac GTP and even a couple of imports. One disussion with Len Imbrogno turned to the fact that the SS Cobalt was supercharged. I asked if they (NHRA) were going to regulate the superchargers or just let the AHFS take it's course. Len informed me that Gracia had told him the president on that was set years ago (around 1957) with the supercharged Fords and Studebakers. Now granted this was a few years ago, but I would be willing to bet that he hasn't changed his opinion. Wanna bet? Now this sounds to me as reliable a source as any one you or anybody here has at this time. I'm sure you have his phone number, if not, contact me and I'll give you his cell number. I think it's great the Fords are out and running. Can't wait for the Mopars to hit the track. Oh, and no disrespect taken. I realize you do have a dog in this fight, I don't. Peace my friend. Jim
