Default tip for a supercharger

i read that if ou belt is slipping when making 1/4 mile passes just put a little vht on the underside of the belt that touches the pulleys and that should fix it for a few runs.

Don't you think that would make a mess?

I've heard of people doing that for back to back dyno runs. On the street/track, belt dressing is definitely a band-aid for poor wrap/tension.

Dynojets are harder on belts than the street is. The RPM's tach up faster and the belt rev's faster which causes more belt slip and orbiting/jumping issues.

Another note: Alum flywheels can have a minor effect of exacerbating belt issues by rev'ing faster too.

You're better off going with a good tensioner and really taking your time to get all of the pulleys aligned perfectly. A DynoJet doesn't have the same load as running on the street.
