That's my friend thats selling that kit lmao. He owns a shop and builds mostly Mustangs... It was a customers car he put the kit on years ago. It came of a ratbox 4th gen. He said he would give it to me and i could pay him when i sell it and take whatever profit was left. I said ''what profit'' lol. Besides the pulley it was a functional kit.

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to my question, but why did he butcher the SC plate to begin with?

And apparently he was too lazy to take of the blower etc...as a result his cutoff wheel cut the pulley....now it's out of balance

So much for the structural rigidity of the plate...

For the non-SC guys posting in this thread, this is what it's supposed to look like.

Im not sure if the customer did it or he did. I doubt it was him because he deals direct with Vortech and has been installing them since they first came out.
