Which front drive LS serpentine system

[cdoggy81]

Got it narrowed down to the March 20035 for $1850 or the Vintage Air front runner 174014 for $2600?

March:
looks pretty good for the price
heard their fitment is not that great



VA:
$800 more :[
I have read the alternator that comes with the VA has had some failure problems

Thoughts?

I'm happy with the VA front runner on my BBC, fit and finish is perfect. I'm building a LS3 now for a different car and am really liking the Drive Junky system. The Wegener unit would be my second choice.

Without looking it up I know Mr Ron Sutton was chiming in on a system he liked due to the amount of belt contact on the power steering pump pulley.... could be drive junky not quite sure

I remember it being the Drive Junky setup as well. Maybe Ron will chime in. I have a Vintage Air setup on my car and if I were to do it again I would choose Drive Junky or Wegner which was already stated. The both have great contact on the pulleys.

It is drive junky. I have there setup. Beautiful quality great directions and I also had them put a brushed finish on it to match my wheels and trim. The hand built and tig welded power steering reservoir is like art work so drive junky x2

I'll look into the Drive Junky a little more. So far it looks pretty good & not toooooo much more than the VA setup.

I've been looking for a LSA system and ran across CVF Racing setups. I havn't found a whole lot of info on them, but might be worth taking a look.

[Schwartz Performance]

We use Wegner primarily on LS3's. They build high horsepower race engines, so it's thoroughly tested.
They're also relatively inexpensive, compared to BS and VA. I sell them for $2400 shipped, black anodized.

Drive Junky is also a good choice. I sell them too.

I think Concept One sells an LSA system.

I've dealt with the ConceptOne LSA system. It's fine if you don't actually want to make boost. I would have to say the same about the CVF setup as it looks like they are using one belt to run it all.

how about one of the holley setups?

It is Artwork - unfortunately my Power Steering Reservoir hit my Steering Pump so they are making me a Remote Reservoir.

I went with the VA kit. Got a good deal & they threw in the DSE hardline

What's the benefit of the drive systems? I have been using OEM for the last 3 swaps and no issues.

[cdoggy81]

No real benefits unless you have fitment issues or perhaps PS slippage. I just wanted something that looked better than the OEM stuff. We send all this $$$ on our cars to look & perform so just another piece in the puzzle

Clearence issues for me. I'm running a AME subframe that has the motor lowered 3" and set back 3". The stock position of the alternator will not work due the rack.

Coming soon a New Billet Specialties Sport Trac Drive System . Will keep you posted when it is ready to purchase

[gdphillipswagon]

I've got the Wegner drive system purchased from Schwartz Performance. Perfect fit. Give Dale a call!
