[QUOTE="04torchred, post: 16168377, member: 23761"] Judging from the side by side pic of the stock tensioner vs the roush I don't think you will be able to unless you build larger spacers to move the plate out for the added thickness of the tensioner arm. I am still on the stock tensioner with a metco plate. Its been ported eaton to a 3.4L Whipple and seems to be holding up fine. I have a metco adjustable lower idler pulley plate that is pretty trick for adjusting belt tension as well and wrap on the lower pulley. I believe it came with their X10 setup and I managed to pick one up loose years back. The whipple adjustable idler is a good option as well. Tensioner is the last thing I would be stressing about. Just don't run a manual one, there needs to be some give in the system somewhere or you start breaking stuff. [/QUOTE]
