Modified serpentine belt configurations, please comment
Want to change the serpentine belt configuration to include a 25% underdrive crank pulley, alternator (low driverside mount location), ribbed idler, water pump & tensioner. Basically, this will mean an approx. wrap angle of 90 degrees on the crank pulley. All other pulleys will have more wrap angle w/ only the water pump using the flat side (non-v side) of the belt.
Has anyone else used a minimum 90 degree wrap angle w/ a stock belt tensioner? Is it enough tension to maintain grip & 6700 RPM? If not, which sponsor sells a high tension pulley & how much more than stock tension does it create? Thank you
Please no guessers. I appreciate all comments, but only experience w/ a 90 degree minum wrap angle &/or angle to tension calculation will reveal the correct answer. The set up can work as long as the there is enough tension.
