No but you likely will have to rotate them about 45° so the connectors clear the fuel rail Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the svtperformance.com mobile app

Did you check the locking nuts on the pan hard bar? I had a similar noise and found mine had loosened up. Fixed with some loctite Sent from my [device_name] using the svtperformance.com mobile app

My God never thought anyone could make an S550 any uglier than they already are. They already come from the factory with a look like a chick with a great ass and a big snoz, then the 18's get some rhinoplasty and make the nose even worse. Now this abomination. Are all these car personalizers...

Yes correct, I am using the K06891 belt with billet tensioner and new standoffs. The cast dayco tensioner had terrible offset with the spacer and was likely just a production OE assy. I suspect it was pitching over under load. I also think maybe the spacer heights were also affecting belt...

Another thing with the regular belt versus the rpm ones to be concerned with is belt flutter under load. The routing in your image proves no clearance for it. Likely will rub under load. The rpm belt being stiffer would likely be more stable imo. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the...

I was never told to revise my belt routing. The layout you show i wouldn't use as the tensioner is the 4th routing item in the fead and would do a sh!tty job providing tension under load. The tensioner is generally the first routing after the crank or as close to as possible due to inertia...

When i replaced my belt i used the original length belt. I'm about 40%ish tension, with my adjustable idler set almost as loose as possible. Lots of room for adjustment. What new routing are you referring to? This is what I'm using Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the svtperformance.com...

Meant to say too tight of a belt tension will load the idler bearings unnecessarily Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the svtperformance.com mobile app

Hey Joe, The movement on the idler pulleys if minimal is just bearing free rock due to clearances in the bearing cage, no big deal and normal. How much load did you set on the belt tensioner. I believe the Whipple instructions say to use 80% tension which is way too much for the Gates rpm...

I think I've seen you tooling around already with 4 or 5 other stangs. Car looks badass!! Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the svtperformance.com mobile app

Hey looking to purchase a set of supports and added a forged bottom end over the winter. Seem to remember someone selling them on here a couple of years ago. Anyone remember who? Also looking to go with a diamond piston and Manley h-beam setup. Anyone running this setup or can recommend a...

Your not alone on this issue. My driver rear has squeaked from about 2,000 miles and I'm now at about 12,000. When it starts to chirp i just remove the pads clean the slides and relube and reinstall pads. Take about 15 minutes. I did sand the locators on the edges of the pads as they were not...

Off topic, but what meth kit are you using? I'm just getting ready to install a snow kit and was planning to install my pump behind the bumper cover, below the pass side headlight near the washer jug to try to keep the vibration isolated. Are you sure your pump is not coming in contact with...
