[QUOTE="Joe 69, post: 15741767, member: 150328"] Just a thought…If the tensioner is clocked in the correct position for a specific belt type, RPM flutter should be reduced because, correct tension is being applied. If going with an RPM belt set it at 40%. An RPM belt set at 80% (incorrect tension) will cause it to snap that is what started this mess. If you clock the tensioner at 80% and use a regular belt the tension should be correct. I have put the car through the belt torture test with the new routing and non-RPM belt and it seems fine. This routing is what came stock on the car and prior to the supercharger, I had that engine screaming and it never lost a belt. To your point, the new routing sucks because of the lack of adjustment. That is why I ordered shorter belt for the new routing. Whichever belt you choose (regardless of belt routing) RPM or regular just make sure the belt tensioner is set correctly for the belt type. SW..Just for clarification are you using the Gates K06891RPM belt with the new tensioner and plate spacers? The thing I can’t figure out is why Whipple updated the belt tensioner in the first place. It seems that with updating the tensioner they had to update the plate spacers to keep things inline. [/QUOTE]
