Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 843 1997-2004 Corvette LS1/LS6 Harmonic Damper, 8-Rib Drive, 10% Overdrive, Innovators West. This harmonic damper is designed for C5 Corvette LS1 and LS6 applications and features an 8-rib belt drive with a 10% overdrive pulley. It is built for the Corvette accessory-drive configuration and is intended for applications where additional belt engagement and increased accessory-drive speed are needed.
For a C5 that's getting serious about boost, the crank pulley is where the belt drive starts earning its keep. Going from six ribs to eight gives the belt more bite, while the 10% overdrive lets a blower get moving without having to go crazy-small on the blower pulley. It's a straightforward way to beef up the belt drive while keeping the LS accessory system clean and compact.
The 843 uses an 8.125-inch diameter pulley and is built around the Corvette LS1/LS6 accessory-drive offset. It features a single 3/16-inch keyway, with dual-keyway and Super Duty Blower Hub options available for more demanding combinations. Verify the crankshaft and accessory-drive configuration before ordering.
