He is an expert welder and I could not have come up with a mount that was as functional without getting his help anyway. I would not advise using any type of toothed belt re-drive with the LS1. They cannot handle the horsepower and have a limited life in all aero applications. The only re-drive/PSRU that I have been able to find that is durable and built to deal with the harmonics is the one developed by Bud Warren at Geared Drives. Save yourself a lot of headache and stay away from belts. Dave Bob,

Have you considered this combination for the RV10? Like to hear your comments on this one.
