[QUOTE="Roots-type, post: 16688147, member: 72150"] Sounds like you ought to have enough belt wrap with those big pullies then. If this new aftermarket tensioner has the belt 'tight as hell', I'd rethink that. Over-tensioning never seems to end well. I would rather have more ribs in the system to combat slip, but that's just me. If you want to exhaust other avenues before going 8rib, you could try different style belts and do something like a carbonite coating on the blower pulley. I think pc makes their stuff 6rib out of the box just so they can sell you an 8rib system later on when you're done banging your head on the wall. More $$ for them that way. But anyway, this new tensioner sounds like it doesn't fit your setup well if it's hitting the blower's idler and cutting the belt. I guess you could try to find a smaller pulley to put on it to gain some clearance. Or maybe a smaller blower idler pulley. I'd probably just remove it though instead of trying to engineer a way around it. Jmo. I'll step back and let the centri guys help. GL. [/QUOTE]
