Short belt keeps walking. Any advice?
I'm running a short belt (no power steering) on my 99 LS1 with fbody style accessories. The belt wants to start slipping off the tensioner every time I'm out beating on the car. Last night the belt finally came off completely. Any ideas? I'm running a 52.5 inch belt. It looks like a 52 inch would work and would obviously be tighter.
Any other ideas?

Re: Short belt keeps walking. Any advice?
You could also buy a Larry pulley which has a bigger lip so the belt won't walk or fly off. I used to have this same problem after taking her up to 110 and braking kinda hard. The belt would fly off and I'd lose power steering, the check gauges light would light up, and car would start to heat up fast. Scary thing to happen to you at the track. Now with the Larry pulley, I don't have to worry about it happening anymore. It's only like $70 too.
