You could use the bar stock for the spacers, run it from end to end of the factory mounting plate. Bolt the mounting plate to the bar stock so it can't rack on the bolts or bend, bolt through both to the head and block. We use the 7/16 studs and cut the crank pulley spacer down to get the blower back closer to the motor just like Black Baja said.

in the past i have welded 1/4'' flat stock to each of the spacer tubes and connected all them together to keep the spavers from rocking...figure out where the procharger is mounted now ,,,then remove it from the bracket and take 1/4'' flat stock the mock the plate up between the spacers to stigffin up the spacers..if procharger was smart they would have had the spacer part casted onto one solid piece..

You have the right idea, but I have a m-3 already. IF I had a m-4 or m-5 I could run a bigger pulley and have less slip because of the greater contact area!

Soo theatrically instead of running a 3.7" pulley, The "non sc" would use a 4" pulley to get the same boost.. Don't know if that would be enough of a difference in diameter to help at all...

I thought you had a M3sc which is a 4.1 internal step up where as the non sc is a 4.44 internal step up ratio..

so far I have seen 3 good suggestions that I am going to look hard at:
1.re-inforcing head unit bracket and machining bigger spacers
2. having pulleys Carbonite coated
and then the newest idea I just saw
3. Have a bigger yet pulley custom built for crankshaft
