PSJ, I ran the belt pretty tight from what I bos posted last time about how Z8's runs the belts. Do you think I should run it looser? Z8's what do you think? I had less than 3/4in belt deflection.

I ordered a new cog belt should be here tuesday or wednesday. Going to the dyno to get some A/F numbers for NoGo and the I will hit the strip on friday to give it another try.

Eric, I'll probably get another HKS to balance things out.

from the video posted, i'm thinking you're belt "loosened" off the blower cog and that is what caused it to get chewed up ( look at the video and see how it vibrates loose), i'm thinking a spring loaded tensioner should solve that/your problem.

any idea if sd concepts would make something for a cog belt?

I wonder if SD concepts would be willing to work something out for the cog belt setup....
