Vortech S.H.O. 1/2" Supercharger Mounting Plate Upgrade - From 5/16" 4FA100-005
S.H.O. 1/2" Supercharger Mounting Plate Upgrade for Vortech Systems
The Vortech Superchargers S.H.O. 1/2" Supercharger Mounting Plate Upgrade (PN 4FA100-005) is engineered to replace the standard 5/16" mounting plate with a substantially thicker 1/2" plate for increased rigidity in high-output applications. This upgrade is designed for builders pushing higher boost levels, higher RPM, and increased belt load where bracket stiffness and alignment are critical.
By increasing plate thickness, the S.H.O. mounting plate significantly reduces bracket flex under load, helping maintain precise pulley alignment and consistent belt tracking. The result is improved durability, reduced belt wear, and greater reliability in aggressive street, strip, and competition environments.
Why Upgrade to the S.H.O. 1/2" Plate
As power levels increase, supercharger drive systems experience higher loads that can induce flex in thinner mounting plates. The S.H.O. 1/2" plate upgrade provides the additional stiffness required to support high-horsepower combinations while preserving proper supercharger positioning relative to the crank drive.
