Tensioner thread PT.2

[lx-convertible]

i will agree the D1 will outshine the little CFM of the novi. For the price, it should.
And not having all the issues we all have gone through in this 1k install/go fast chase, it's worth it.

Sean I think putting the pulley up high like that does not gain anything.

I just went out and looked my car over again for some more ideas.

There should be plenty of tensioner travel to not need a pulley at the top of the paxton bracket as you have shown. If a pulley was up there though it is right in the way of the upper rad hose. Also a pulley up there will hurt belt rap on the water pump.

I would still put the little march pulley down below between the crank and alt to assure maximum belt rap around the crank pulley.

There is plenty of room down below to mount that small pulley.

Steve,

I agree with ya on this one. the only thing is the March pulley is ribbed, so putting it down there would mean the back of the belt riding on the ribs......

Well shitcicles.

Put the stock fox bod smooth tensioner pulley down there.

Have you by chance inquired on a grooved water pump pulley with ASP yet?
