In NMRA Renegade (the class the car was built for) you are mandated an 8 rib pulley. This means that you have to run an 8-rib serpentine belt for the blower, no cogs. Slippage and boost production are huge problems in this class, so to limit boost further with a wastegate of some sort would be like 2 steps back for us. Trust me when I say we are going to need every ounce of boost as soon as possible to be competitive. It would be a great option for a very high horsepower setup that needed big top end power, but wanted to control bottom end power. Like a true 10.5 inch tire car with 1500 or so hp. Then that would probably be a great idea, but for us, I think it would be more of a handicap. Heads up classes in sanctioning bodies these days don't leave a ton of room for innovation, sadly.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
