Default Procharger tensioner system
SDCE is offering a group buy till the end of may on their LS1 tensioner bracket system. Thought I'd give a heads up.

I didn't think they were a sponser. Where is this advertised? Just through their site? The last time I visited their site, the "shop" part of it was down and they said it was being redone.

Please let me know, I am interested.

I found the news archive on their site for the group purchase. I will most likely be in for 1. Pretty good deal for the attention the SDCE setup gets. My only issue is the down time for sending the J bracket to them.

Buy a new j bracket and send that one to SDCE. Thats what I did. Then I sold my j bracket.

SDCE will send you a steel one and you pay a core charge. I think it was around $90. Little added weight, but more rigid.

Is this just like the procharger J bracket, but steel and cheaper? If so I am interested.

I may be interested. I got mine to stop slipping though, crazy the difference that the NAPA belt made over the Gatorback and a good initial tension.

not cheaper, you have to send your aluminum bracket in as a core. appears to be the same. I bought it because I didn't want to wait to send my bracket to be modified.

Hey ERO, long time man

You've been getting belt slip? Do you have the 8-rib or 6-rib kit?

I haven't had any with the 8-rib, keeping my fingers crossed

Hey, how is the progress on the nicer Procharged WS6 in Minnesota? I have seen some posts about a new short block as well as others but haven't seen much.

I haven't been getting any belt slippage. I had a bearing go out in the idler last year and replaced that. I figure with the special going on, I might as well jump on the SDCE bandwagon and eliminate future problems. I have the 8-rib kit on my car as well.

Will shoot you a PM.

So all procharger dealers will have access to the tensioner if a replacement is needed? I have my doubts.
