Nope, but I have a plan..I am not sure if its gonna work but I am gonna try.
I am going to call up Magnuson tomorrow and order the belt for the mustang
kit, its just under two inches shorter than what we have for the trucks,
then on the tensioner, pull out the middle bolt and grind about 3/4 of the
pulley stop and put that belt on. I saw that trick on the Stiegemeier
website when reading about the blower porting. Though it says use a half
inch shorter, I released the tension off the belt about two hours ago and
can maybe pull just over an inch and some change worth of slack. I am not
sure if its too much tension or if the belt will be to tight (if it can even
get too tight, I don't know), but I will be trying it out, I have the 2.8
inch pulley on there now. I also have someone bead-blasting and notching my other pulleys surface where the belt touches, sort of like the pulleys some speed shops do for the other blower types, and see if it works better than the shorter belt method. Won't know either until I get the blower back from Stiegemeier who is doing the blue printing and porting, and fuel injector
service. I will post an update when I get everything back together.

I definitely have it, the dyno graphs Mike showed me were just like a sine wave, up and down, up and down. Have you had it on a dyno where they can monitor your boost? That's the only way I found out, the O' cheapo gauge I had on there just to see how much of a boost increase I had when swapping the pulley would climb to 7-7.5 lbs, but I never saw it fluctuate like the dyno graphs showed. The dyno showed me from low or mid 6's to close to 9 lbs, if I recall correctly, I can't remember and do not have the graphs with me.
