[QUOTE="Black02GT, post: 16475506, member: 23818"] About a 500 mile old American Racing Solutions billet tensioner. Pretty sure it's not that. Really Im noodling the advantage of the whipple tensioner that goes under the blower and wraps the left side. Compared to the traditional extra idler that goes to the upper right and wraps the opposite side. Intuitively I would think I rather wrap the left "upstream" (before the load) but then the lower is pushing not pulling compared to the blower right? Unless I have the direction of the belt backward in my head. Dont have to car here to look. Have to dig in to the how wrapping different sides effect belt tension in individual belt segments when you consider the drive pulley vs the load. [/QUOTE]
