I have a totalled 95 Z28 with a powerdyne supercharger. I am the guy who had his car blown up in the Southampton inspection station. So decided while i had the radiator out, i will just switch the supercharger from one to the other. It looks seriously easy. And, on a stock car it would be. The problem i run into is all my aftermarket **** getting into the way. But i figured everything out but this one.

For the supercharger, it comes with its own drum that bolts onto your harmonic balancer, which gives the supercharger belt a place to turn. I easily whipped it off my 95 just to come to the realization that my harmonic balancer is aftermarket. Now i called the guy i bought it off of a while ago, and he said it was the guy before him, so i call him but he wont return my calls. So now im stuck b/c the drum bolt holes dont line up and the bolts are too small. Now this question is for you motor heads out there. Can i just switch balancers? the stock 2 peice for the aftermarket one peice? would that cause any trouble?

PLEASE HELP!! the weather is getting warmer and my car is still in my garage! and i want to go and meet up with some of you guys, but i just keep running into problems...

Shouldn't be any issue swapping the balancer from one to the other.

you should just call up powerdyne and see if there is another pulley you can get.

Switch the balancers. Damn man, I'm right up the street! Stop in and ask a brotha.

I would switch the balancer because the aftermarket one might not align the pulleys correctly and could cause it to throw the belt.
