Crank and blower drive options?

Just wondering what people out there have used and seen as far as setting up a procharger as far as drives go. Is a forged crank with a standard snout enough for most street/strip apps? What is the next step? Large snout? Does the aftermarket support this?

side slinger or gear drive?

Side mount.......just teasing myself. I was about to check into these balancer-drives I happened to see on the Super_store site. Don't have a real clue what is out there, but wanna learn

What type of belt do you plan to use? Serp or cog? Assuming cog then you could have custom pulleys made by asp or rcd or the easier route would be to buy a damper with BBC bolt pattern from ati then you plenty of pulley choices. As for the snout, I cant speak of its limits from personal experience about its limitaions but double keying would be a good idea for moderate to high boost. If flex is a concern you could modify a crank support from rcd or others to fit the ford. The sbf uses the same snout diameter and they commonly make big boost with those without supports
