Guys any help would be great..just finished installing the 8 rib kit from A&A. cranked the engine and revved it to 3K from idle, then the belt jumped out the pulleys to the front.I used gates laser alignment tool and checked the alignment 10 times, all the pulleys are lined up..the kit does not have a tensioner pulley with it so i am still using the stock tensioner pulley of porcharger that comes for the 6 rib kit. could it be the problem ?

Yes it could be the problem, A solid tension would help or a very strong spring tensioner.

maybe the sdce spring tensioner could help u with the belts.more information on the rest of your setup?

where can i get it from ? Chris at ECS told me that the stock tensioner pulley may work.but i think it's small and wont keep the belt in place

this works for the F-body only isn't it ? the corvette's bracket and tensioner are different

i didnt see anything that said f-body only.just said ls1 8 rib.just give them a quick call and ask and i am sure they can help u out.

i dont think the problem is with the tensioner, because most guys keep the same tensioner and change the pulley only, guys at EPP done a lot of vettes

This is what I used on my vette with an 8 rib drive and it works and has never slipped once with 16psi.

Can you post pics of your bracket? Any installs I do that require a F1C or R, I go straight to the 10 rib with our bracket.

So far the 10 rib bracket has seen a lapping day at Mosport and just came back from Carlisle with no issues.

I am using the stock bracket from procharger, the car had D1SC and changed it to F1C with A&A 8 rib kit , still stock tensioner and pulley..is there any bracker or tensioner to fit the C6 ?

i think my problem is with the bracket and tensioner because my belt is being thrown out at 2500 to 3000 rpm. who sells a tensioner or any thing could fix this problem

Street Legal

still can't figure it out , the belt is being thrown only out from the supercharger and stays in the other pulleys..could it be my bracket isn't straight enough ?

Procharger has a redesigned tensioner that may help. You would also benefit from having shoulders on your tensioner pulley. Just a suggestion.
