Very impressive setup.
But something has been bothering me over the last few months with your install, the drilling out of the manifold holes, the supercharger snout interfering with the thermo housing, when mine had no such problems,
then it occurred to me, did bullet supply the manifold insulator spacers?
Well, I don't know. I purchased the kit and had it shipped to BD so they could do the dummy alignment. The whole lot was trial assembled on a motor and that photo furnished as evidence it fitted. The single photos shows the assy being sweet, but they never ran it to check the pulley alignment, plus you cannot see if all the manifold bolts were fitted either. I seal clamped the phenolic plates to the head and every single bolt lined up. I left them clamped overnight then removed the bolts next morning and tried to clamp the supercharger down. Only the 4 centre bolts would go in, all the rest were miles out. I think I see where you are going - my plates are perhaps 8mm thick at a guess, could be 6mm. Funny enough the same misalignment happened with the new manifold as well, however I was ready for it this time. When I upgraded to the higher pressure pulley, I bought the pulley off Bullet - $120 cheaper than BD by the way, and I gave them the offset required. They machined their pulley to suit and also supplied a set of spacers and new bolts.. I ended up staying with they Unbrako 12.9's as the ones from bullet are not head stamped and one let go early in the piece - might be something worth changing to be honest.
I am still running the 6 rib belt, however it slips under a heavy rev, so the 8 rib will go on when I get back. I found a 'green backed commercial belt that is a lot stiffer and harder than the normal rubber belt, so will give these run.
All the remaining hoses and fittings have arrived, excepting the 2 custom ones that the a/c guy needs to make. Getting closer - again!

Where are you up to?
