[QUOTE="Joe 69, post: 15741573, member: 150328"] SW, That is the way I had the belt run originally…But…….. When Whipple updated the tensioner they updated the belt routing system. Basically, they went back to the way Ford had it with the exception of the supercharger setup. Here is a picture that Fishpick provided. This picture shows the new belt routing. [ATTACH=full]1443907[/ATTACH] 1. I told them instead of replacing the Dayco Tensioner (the first tensioner) and RPM belt,.. Just revise the instruction manual and have the tension set at 40% instead of 80% they said HUH! 2. I said why not use a non-RPM belt (not as stiff) the same length as the RPM belt and set the tensioner at 80%. They said HUH! 3. I said why use a belt at all; I’ll just get my flippin close line and make a belt. Now I’ve got....Two brains twice as dumb trying to solve this. They said,.. the new belt tensioner, plate stands and longer [B]non-[/B]RPM belt must be used to keep things in warranty. The problem I’m having, as mentioned above, is the belt they provide is to long. Right now the tension is set ok (see above thread) but, there is no more adjustment. A shorter belt would be needed. I’m not sure why they insist on the new belt routing and why they don’t want to use a RPM belt. ..(Probably because the RPM belts cost some bucks$$$). My feeling is…… use a NON-RPM belt and route it the way you have it and set it at 80%. This routing allows for plenty of adjustment. Also, by using a non-RPM (less-stiff) belt the tension is a little more forgiving, less critical. [/QUOTE]
