I was looking at the build page on EPPs site and seen that you have the stock belp tensioner mounted down below and pushes the belt downward to tension it, yea? If so then is the belt just ran triangleated? As in, does it run around the alternator to the ballancer and down under the tensioner? Got some better pics of how its mounted??

Yes it is triangulated as you described.
It uses a C5 tensioner and is made Billet aluminum and in stock.
The one in the pics of Bobs buld is the hand fabricated prototype, They work flawless.

ok, so is it a stock c5 one? And stock c5 ones are billet or cast? Kinda confusing on what you were saying. Got any better pics of how and where it mounts? And why is Bobs a hand fabbed one if the stockers work fine? Pretty vague response and even more questions now.

I think he he is saying they have one in stock they made out of billet (and it uses the C5 tensioner pulley) and the one on Bob's car was just a handmade prototype.

Maybe

I am also interested in that. Would like to be able to ditch my power steering without machining pulleys for around the stand offs

Brent put it together, so I'll let him respond. KP was right, mine was the prototype. Bob

However, its very unlike EPP to answer a question, so I doubt they are ignoring ya. Give it a little bit, or as mentioned above, give them a call I too however would be interested in knowing the answers to your questions, so if you do call and find out, post back up here what they say

I'm sure they are busy, but if it's a different tensioner setup I'd be interested in it too!
