[QUOTE="SIC9250, post: 15613333, member: 83055"] Hey fellas hope I can get some answers around here,I think I'm on the right track so we'll see..I bought a 96-99 vortech v2 non intercooled kit and from what I'm reading and according to vortechs instructions the 96-99 and 01-04 kits for DOHC 96-99 cobras and machs are very different and it seems that's due to the differences of the timing covers..My question is,if I swapped a 96-99 timing cover onto my Mach would anything other than making a custom bracket for my shaker hold me up? I know the 01-04 kits relocate the [URL='http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=alternator']alternator[/URL] and add a [URL='http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=idler+pulley']idler pulley[/URL] and bracket to the head unit bracket,i read this was for better belt wrap the 01-04 tensioners/timing covers can't provide.

Also if anyone has ran a march sfi balancer (underdrive) what smaller blower pulley was used to compensate for the lower boost? 3.33? Trying to keep it around 8/9 psi and I know a UD pulley takes boost away I figured I could downsize the blower pulley from a 3.6 (8 psi with stock crank pulley) to bring the boost back up..Any thoughts?
