Glad I shopped!

Not to mention that this shouldn't be an issue to begin with

I remember that experience well ... and the idler pulley between the two blowers was over $500 at the time... now it's down to just under $300 ....

Reliable Pkg

Honestly guys, is there anything out there 850HP that will last long?... It seem's like nothing blown ever holds up too long..

How about an 850HP, naturally aspirated engine...
Would that be much more reliable, long term?
