Like I said, I'm excited for them to come out with something new, these cars lack torque in the lower end. I'm just curious how far it's needed to go in order to get that whipple to fit.

Unlike other companies we are focused on organic growth. We also do private label and machine work for other companies and industries. We aren't going anywhere anytime soon. In fact we are moving to a new facility and will be having a grand opening party after zdayz. We will have a full line of pulleys available and in stock. We are using a standard size gates belt and if you felt the need to go 6 rib or 8 rib the only thing needed would be a new lower pulley made. Everything else could be gotten off the shelf.

This is an update.

Please bare with me and keep in mind I am still learning about our cars, even though I've owned mine since it was new in 2010.

I read through the entire 37 page thread and I have not seen anyone ask this question. The Stage 1 kit on a STOCK engine will still be ok with a stock 7AT. Now...how does that work if the stage one does put it close to the stock 7AT limits and you already have the dual cold air intakes, headers, straight pipe or hi-flow cats, and cat back exhaust. Won't those extra mods that add a decent amount of extra power push the stage 1 over the limits of the 7AT?

Also, the intercooler placement, how will that affect those that already have an oil and trans cooler.

I am asking because I already have the Stillen Dual cold air intakes, headers, hi-flow cats, cat back exhause, and Oil and trans coolers. I am definetely insterested in driving my car down to your shop around the end of this year and having the trans upgrade and your stage 2 kit installed, maybe a few extras depending on the price.

The 7AT is marginal even with the Stillen kit which produces far less torque lower in the RPM range than a positive displacement supercharger. I can't imagine the transmission lasting long with any spirited driving.

True and the 400wtq is just a guideline. Its not like if you keep it at 390wtq you are guaranteed to not have a problem. Someone could go 50K over 400wtq and the next guy could make it 5K under 400wtq.

Ape Factory · 03-17-2017, 05:21 PM

Isn't the 7AT rated at 295ft./lbs stock? I know there's another version rated at 400+, not sure why no one has explored this route unless the OEM TCU's are quite different and one can't control the other.

Just a thought here. You can tell me if this will work or not but, what if one of the pulleys was used to drive the blower instead of the crank?

This is a bad idea for many reasons...

You cannot drive the supercharger off an idler pulley.

Why hasn't RJM addressed this yet...?

They are looking into a serpentine setup. They are looking at running either an 8-10 rib setup.
