While I like the quality of the MP blower and idler, I think they could provide some basic instructions and usage information. Such as a needed parts list of supercharger oil and a formula for calculation belt size. Also, this product is all about reusing your stock rotors - so instructions on how to disassemble the stock eaton and assemble the MP. I was really surprised that MP just assumed that should be common knowledge.
We got the MP blower and idler installed yesterday, but I didn't have time to try the belt I have. We'll see today if it fits.

If you add the extra idler pulley yes

cause I'm not even sure what the hell # belt I got on there,
but I do know it was the brand new Gatorback I just bought 6 days before it came off the road.
It turned out to fit perfect (without us using that 3rd idler pulley).
My Current set up is 8lb Lower, 3 lb upper (2.7), and that Mag Bracket ( minus a pulley of course (lol)

Rob I have the MP bracket with a 8 lower and a 3" upper. I have all the idlers on mine and I ended up getting a K080710 Gates belt from Carquest...It is a little tight so with your slightly smaller 2.7" upper you should be good. For what it's worth I have been told by a few people to stay away from the Gatrobacks and go with a Gates or Dayco..The KB people were one of the nay sayers on GATOR backs.. Hope this helps...
