ADJUSTABLE BILLET TENSIONER: Our supercharger systems feature a solid billet belt tensioner like nothing else on the market. Designed and built in house, it is a formidable piece. It features precision bearings, a chromoly internal shaft, 3 internal spring settings and an optional spring for ultra-high horsepower applications. The entire assembly can be “clocked” to clear oversize balancers. A lockout mechanism allows the tensioner to be locked in the open position for easier belt changes.
Each tensioner is hand assembled and checked for bearing clearance and spring tension. You won’t see anything even close on other systems.
BILLET TENSIONER WITH INTERNAL SPRING SETTINGS AND LOCKOUT MECHANISM. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON THE MARKET IS EVEN CLOSE!
MOUNTING BRACKETS: Our mounting brackets have been described by more than one customer as “jewelry”. Every bracket is CNC machined on both sides to assure absolute flatness and to keep tolerances as tight as possible. We use steel pulleys with dual bearings and stainless or aluminum stantions for proper bearing support. We continually pull random brackets and laser test them on our mock up motor to assure accuracy. Both are time-consuming steps that the others just don’t bother with.
The bracket and tensioner offer maximum belt wrap on both the supercharger and crankshaft, eliminating belt slip. Nothing will take the fun out of any supercharged car faster that being plagued with belt issues. We build the strongest and most adjustable belt drive system available. The same bracket and tensioner can be used on a 500 RWHP daily driver or a 1000 RWHP by simply adjusting the spring pressure and will accept 6 or 8 rib drive belts without modification.

HEAD UNITS
Clearly the components and engineering we put into our systems is far ahead of the competition, but you need a powerful, efficient head unit to put it all together.
We use Vortech quality head units in all our systems. Vortech builds our head units to our specifications under a private label agreement. We offer head units of varying sizes to accommodate different horsepower levels.
Our Si Trim head unit is best suited for stock engines and is the only one available in our C.A.R.B. Certified kits. (available in engine oil fed or self-contained)
The Ti Trim is better suited for those with headers, moderate camshafts, Methanol injection etc. and is a NO COST OPTION. (available in engine oil fed or self-contained)
The YSi is the KING of this family of blowers. When combined with a properly built engine, 8 or 10 rib belt drive and one of our dual pump fuel systems, the YSi is capable of over 1000 REAR WHEEL HORSEPOWER in a late model Corvette.
RAM AIR INTERCOOLER DESIGN: The second most important component of a successful supercharger design is airflow management. Air will always take the course of least resistance and must be “forced” to go where needed. Smoke generator testing showed a significant amount of the air literally bounced off the front of the intercooler and just rolled over the edge. It was this revelation that caused us to find a way to capture as much of the frontal airflow as possible and force it through the intercooler.
Our Ram Air Intercooler with CNC laser cut aluminum panels to direct airflow through both the intercooler and radiator are features that only A&A incorporates into every system. We offer the only intercooler where 100% of the core is exposed to frontal airflow. We also have the largest gap between the radiator and intercooler which is essential to proper engine cooling.
The top of the core is flush with the front frame cross member which stops any air escaping over the top of the intercooler. The “duckbill” located at the bottom of the core interfaces with the front fascia, stopping any airflow from going underneath the intercooler core. The duckbill is bent at a different angle to fit the standard C6 and Z06 style fascia. We go one step further and weld side panels on the intercooler to stop air from rolling over the sides of the core.
Just sticking an intercooler up front without regard to proper airflow management just doesn’t work.

ENGINE COOLING: Engine cooling is also a major consideration overlooked by other manufacturers. We utilize laser cut, CNC bent aluminum panels to capture air that would otherwise be lost into the fenderwells and around the sides of the radiator and force it back into the radiator and AC condenser. These panels are exclusive to A&A Corvette! We also offer our proprietary 3” thick radiators for additional cooling capacity.
