dont know, I hit the gas and started hearing a weird pinging. I have the big chunk that feel off. The snout had been filed down to accept the smaller pulley. I had to get a pulley puller to move the pulley foward to remove the chunk

Ask all over the place no extra snouts, only place that might have a snout drive is magnuson superchargers that have a 2pc extension drives for Eaton. Im waiting for them to answer after i sent some pics and measurements to see if they can help out if not Im going to have to buy a new supercharger.

Have you called Stiegemeier?? They carry a lot of parts. It would be worth a call.

Do you think it is related to shaving the snout to install the smaller pulley?

You might also contact this guy on Ebay. He seems to have a lot of Eaton snout parts and pieces.

It sounds real good but the dont dynotune jags so basically you pay the same amount than a mustang but no dyno. That is what I was not happy about. If they would not charge for the dyno then I would probably do it.
