So ive been doing some searching on this matter and hear that a super tight belt is ok, and then I hear it is not due to the posibility of adding extra wear and tear on bearings.
I threw on my billetflow idlers and 2.8" metco upper.
Billetflow's website calls for the stock belt with this set up. Getting the belt on required 2 of us to put tension and to force the belt on the snub idler. Billetflow will not answer their phone or my email.
when I start my car up it seems to whine pretty loud. Im wondering if I should go from a stock (75.1") belt up to a 75.5 or 75.6" to release some of the tension on the belt. there is literally no play when you go to release tension the tensioner.
Hope that all makes sense.
