Another mach1 guy has a combo very similar to mine running a D1 w/ a 3.6" pulley, Im gonna be running a 3.7 but he is having belt slip issues using the same thump RR tensioner I am. I was looking for a used 8 rib conversion and someone posted about running 16-18psi with a 6rib setup by adding an additional idler between the alternator and the power steering pump.
I can add this idler for under $50 vs $400 for the eight rib setup...I could also get a no-slip 3.7 6rib pulley from RR for ~$150 and Id still be ~$200 ahead of the game.
machined standoff for new idler
additional idler installed (requires machining off the lip of the water pump pulley which my uncle can do)
any educated thoughts/opinions as to how this will work?
