It is the completebike setup that came off of drag bike. Guy said wheel spin was uncontrolable because he put it on a built motor. After I got it I can see why he was having problems, the pulley off the crank is a 46 tooth and it should be abouta 30 tooth. I'm not ready to sell it yet but I will try to post some pics.
What is the size of the pulley on the blower? Wondering how much over-drive the 46 tooth pulley would be..
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Bet you never find Drouin and reliable setup in the same sentence...

If you are a good tech the Drouin can be reliable. The blower is simple. You can use a carb or use modern injection... Mine Drouin is all rebuilt.. Need to build a tough motor to handle the added boost.

On the topic of the Drouin Supercharger.  I purchased one three years ago.. These in so so shape with no parts  missing will run 1800 to 2500 depending on condition. To make the drouin work properely you have to first take apart and replace all 5 bearings. The bearings will cost you 700+. New belts can be purchased. One of my friends purchased a drouin at the same time I purchased mine he had to do the same fabercation that I did.
 
He his running his now and the bike runs real strong and is reliable. I should have my bike running sometime in October.. Project not for the faint of heart. Will cost you time and effort......  Bad Ass and rare = $$$$ and time.

Hey BLUE71TURBO ; My 'Ol lady says she knows how to fit that Magnacharger 220 blower on your bike ! First remove your engine  :( and replace it with a "small block chevy"  :( :(, attach parachute and post lots of pics  ;D !   ...cougar...
