Got my SDCE tensioner today
Came home today to find a UPS box from SDCE, freakin awsome. I cant wait to put it on. From the guys that have installed this setup, how is it to set up right, aligned and shimmed? Where do you put the shimms? Between the bracket and the block or between the blower and the bracket?? Thanks

setting it up wasn't that hard , max is 15 min over a regular bracket (atleast thats what i remeber ).
to make your life easier, get a straight edge, cause you will have to make sure all is lined up before you tighten everything up.
good choice by the way, sdce where very helpfull when i got mine.

I tryed calling them but I can't get ahold of them YET, its early in the morning. BUT what all comes with the Tensioner kit, Pulleys, belts, etc I don't KNOW?????????
Also I see where they can Modify OR MAKE you a bracket to mount the Headunit, does anyone know about how much for that. I do have a Lt1 car so I know the Tensioner kit is listed for $500 on there site.
I am about to buy the D1SC headunit and Just trying to Figure in what all I need just to have a Completed KIt minus the tunning, fuel system, and injecters.
Heres a quick run down
D1SC headunit
SDCE Mounting BRACKET, and Tensioner kit?? Need more info on this.
Blower hat and filter ( I Figure I could run a Aftermarket Blower hat and run it out to a K&N Filter RIGHT??? Anyone sell a Blower hat out there??)
FMIC OBX
Intercooler piping Stainles steel
Vortech mono bypass
T-bolt clamps and high temp silicone

Between the time they recieved it and the time they send it out back to me, 24hrs. I can not say enought about their customer service, its OUTSTANDING. Im not sure about your blower question. I did send in my bracket.

Then you haven't been on the board long enough. SDCE is awesome to deal with. Wendy and Scott were always helping me out. They would call me up on their own to see if I needed any help or advice.
When they moved to another location, times got hard as they do for anyone.
SDCE's customer service has an awesome rep here.
The turnaround times on brackets took a hit, but the customer service and product is top notch. I had my bracket a few days after ordering it.
