centrifugal specialties X-6 Gear Drives

The X-6, our original, compact gear drive for centriifugal superchargers, is best suited for applications up to 1600hp. This unit is available with a wide variety of options, for several different engine platforms.

Our original crank drive unit, the X-6 has found its way onto a number of record-setting and race winning combinations. The X-6 is very popular with Ultra Street racers but has also found itself at home on many other street/strip and race-only applications for heads-up and bracket racing. This drive utilizes readily availlable Winters Performance "Midget" 6-spline gearsets, and ratios up to 2.10:1 are available.

With its all-billet case, supercharger adapter and block adapter construction, this drive is built to with stand heavy use at the track or the street. For applications running over 1200hp, we recommend fitting the X-6 with our severe duty 300M input shaft.

For those wanting to run accesories such as fuel pumps, vacuum pumps, etc. the 300M input shaft can be fitted with one of our hubs featuring an integrated 22t 8mm cog drive. This 1" wide 8mm drive can be used to run a pair of 1/2" wide belts, or a single 1" wide belt if needed. These drives are intended for use with dampers having a 6-bolt, 3.20" pattern (BB Chevy), though adapters are available to permit use if a SB Ford 4-bolt damper. We recommend and sell Innovators West 6-bolt dampers for SB, BB LS Chevy applications as well as for SB/Windsor Ford applications.

We stock supercharger adapters for ProCharger F-1 and F-2 superchargers as well as Vortech V-20 and V-30 superchargers. These drives may be adapted to many different engine platforms including: SB Chevrolet, BB Chevrolet, Ford SB/Windsor, GM LS (stock, DART, GMPP/LSX, Noonan, RHS blocks), Ford Coyote and others. Drive Prices start at $2619 for a complete package including drive, block and supercharger adapters, hubs, etc. See below for more details.
