[QUOTE="c6zhombre, post: 16155957, member: 76381"] HF, that tension level sounds about right. As mentioned....they really don't stretch so caution must be used on initial setup. I know member Rambro is posting that he thinks his RPM belt "killed" his alternator and now he's also lost a metco idler....not sure what happened there, but be careful. You want the least amount of tension possible while not exhibiting any belt slip. I've not had any issues in 2 years now, same belt. Same size I ran before with standard Gates (751). I think that whipple adjustable tensioner is a good item with the RPM giving you the most adjustability instead of just "hoping" the traditional snub idler is going to work for a given size. Intervention302 probably has the most time with that belt.....he was the one that prompted me to try one two years ago. Maybe he'll chime in and give a long term update..... [/QUOTE]
