[QUOTE="DUCE400, post: 15859112, member: 183430"] THE ISSUE: I have only Ladies and Gents, I recently added some parts and tune to my 2012 GT500 listed below Metco 2.6 Supercharger Pulley Metco AUX idler pulley Ford Racing twin 65mm Cobra jet Throttle Body JLT CAI NTK heat range 6 spark plugs JBA cat delete H-pipe FM outlaw alex back BAMA custom tune (set up for for-mentioned parts) Other than the parts/ upgrades above the car is equipped with all factory parts driven the car approx 20 miles since my install 24 hours ago but I have detected what I believe is signs of belt slippage as there is trace amounts of belt "dust" near the AUX idler pulley and snout of the M122 supercharger as well as a faint burnt smell.
