we just got finished designing and machining our big block kits, there are 4 in total:
1. a/c, alternator, power steering, spring tensioner 2. alternator only, spring tensioner 3. alternator and power steering, spring tensioner 4. low mount ac, power steering, alternator, spring tensioner
the kits will soon be up on our website and i've been posting them here as well.
now i am looking to expand into the small block kits as well as new hemi kits and am curious what people are looking for. all the kits will be made using cnc machined aluminum brackets, and we will offer pulleys as an add on. any and all input is welcome even its hey the market is covered move on.

If I was in the market for a serpentine system, I prefer simple solutions over the stylized billet winged/tribal tattoo stuff. Fewer parts, light weight, and elegantly simple solutions rather than stylized. Unobtrusive rather than a complex focal point decoration. But I might not be your audience, and bling may outsell what I'm talking about. If I were designing a system, I would try to do it in a modular fashion, so guys could add what they need, like AC & PS that others may not want, and maybe design a top-mount & low-mount variation. Unfortunately, you'll get guys who think it should cost $9.95. To survive, you almost have to make one for SBC & SBF so there's enough volume. Then you gotta give one to HotRod & whatever other magazine that will spread the word.
