Threw the WP/PS belt
First real run tonight and threw it off, who knows where it went, it was dark and we were 100+. Lost alt, PS, and water... had to shutter down and tow it back with the tahoe (PITA). No tags, no insurance, about 1/2 mile from home in the country testing... ran good up until then. Bad tensioner?

Awesome, I'll take that recommendation then. I saw comp had one, but have physically seen the katechs, they look nice, and by what you guys are saying, they work equally well! Just don't want the belt flying off again with potential buyers looking/driving the car! =) Thanks again guys.

Aren't there 2 tensioners? The one just up and to the left (from the front) from the alternator I did notice... the belt was walking back and forth on it about 1/8", couldn't figure out why. Common problem I'm guessing? Just wanna make sure I get this sorted out correctly! Thanks again guys!

Put a new idler on tonight as well as a gatorback belt, didn't fly off this last test run. New housing development next to mine that never started construction but has walls and pavement. Brake boosted in 2nd and couldn't keep the back tires from gettin the car sideways @ 5psi, pretty damn fun. 5psi in 2nd @ 3500rpm. Wonder how much torque it's puttin down, a lot more than the ls1 with the hotcam and headers, that's for damn sure! Can't wait for the katech to get here!

Autozone buddy, think it was $34. That's the only thing I'd get from the zone, well, that and oil, and coolant! =) BTW - How much was your tune @ Synergy? I hear Rick is the man there, and would like to have the TA tuned there @ 8psi (like yours) with the 6.0L.

i agree, the zone is worthless except for the maintenance parts... thanks! yea dude rick is the man when i comes to tuning. my tune was spot on when he first did it, but my stock tranny couldnt hold the power and now, with the stall, its a little off (spools even faster tho!) pm sent btw
