Hi! for those who don't want to wade into the EWP "fiasco" & are worried about a double belt system self- destructing, why not use a single tooth belt system (like timing belt) I used that on my race car for 6 years & never lost a belt with RPM hitting 9000 regularly. It has a positive drive with little tension, only needs one gear with cheek washers to keep the belt on track. If no one comes up with a good reason against it, I'll start looking for gears.Lets have some feed back from the "Gurrus"

That the hybrid (EWP and EDWP) systems we have online now are distorting the data? Leon's experience cannot ignore any of the factors. Our estimates can ignore as many as we want to (or are unaware of). I can't help but think that a little morel hard data gathered from a purely EWP system will put a lot of the controversy to rest.
A flawless line of reasoning, based on a false premise leads us right through the lookin' glass ...

Jim, The False Premise comment seems to be spot on. Davies Craig mentions that the Ferrari 365 ALMS American Le Mans Series winner were using 2 EWP's in series per the Davies Craig site suggested method. I have been as skeptical as any about the EWP but is seems to be being used to great success. I think I will be planning for the use of 2, main and overtemp. I will really want a good alternator and backup system!
