Default Belt issues

I have a decently powered N/A car. ASP underdrive pulley.

I noticed in the long section of the belt without a pulley, the belt gets a little uneasy. Resonates almost.

Has anyone experienced this??? If so, how did you fix it?
My tensioner is great. Belt is plenty tight.
Almost seems the motor spins up too quickly for the stock set-up.

Unless it flies off or slips, I would not worry about it.

Weld some plates on the front/back of the pulleys. That will hold the belt still.

So...what if it does slip???
It doesn't just move a little....the belt looks very loose if you rev it.

Solid tensioner time??

Katech sells an adjustable tension tensioner, and they are a sponser. --->

Does anyone else sell one? I feel bad for pimping their name so much!

Speed Inc has one for $110.

They also sell the Katech tensioner, and they said it is the same except for price because theirs is in house. Speed Inc is a sponsor right???

Yes Speed Inc is a sponser. Do a search for threads started by "Katech" and you'll find one with pics and stuff of their tensioner.

I do not believe so.
I have one obviously, but yours is nice thanks to the larger lip.
