14mm Blower Drive

[Blown70]

Ok, so I am somewhat about vanity.  Anything wrong with running a 14mm pullies on the street.  I know they usually require a KEVLAR enforced belt and those are not supposed to be back bent.  Any other issues?  I do not mind the 8mm, just a question.

Talking to Craig matters if he has taken his MEDS

I cannot say that I will used BDS due to his LACK on personal communication skills.

Hey Tom,

If and when you find the answer to this please let me know.  I'm planning the same changeover.

Kinda like Indy I guess , if you want a Hemi block you call indy even though they suck to deal with , at least BDS can supply a blower kit that work together

Well chryco, problem is the STANDARD HEMI KIT WILL NOT WORK WITH MINE.... I need a shorter Snout than usual.  I am NO blower expert so I have to deal with things as they come along. 

Now do not get me wrong for a standard on the street blower kits BDS does fine......... BUT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE CRAIGS WAY..... We your just an idiot.... at least that is the way he speaks to you.

You should try dealing with Don Hampton.  He may know blowers but doesn't know Mopars and he is lazy and very cranky. If you try to call for support, and it's long distance on your dime, he only yells at you and tries to make you feel stupid to cover up his ineptitude.
He gave no instructions and totally screwed up my lower pulley and idler setup. The geometry was completely wrong and the engineering was poor and never would have worked in a million years although I've heard his Chevy designs are good.

I had to send the whole drive off to BDS to see what I had and what was needed to make it right and pay them for a snout mounted idler and the right crank hub and pulley. Hamptons idler was plate mounted to the block and blocked off the heater lines, screwed up the geometry for the alternator pulley and also made it impossible to run an aftermarket water pump.
I think maybe I'd call Gary Dyer if I were to do it again. At least he's a Mopar man and a Charger man.

I have heard the horror storys about Hampton

Ok, From a local who knows blowers well, 14 MM will work just fine on the street.    Finally got my answer.....
