Default How much boost with S-D concepts spring tentioner

How much boost can S-D concepts 8 rib spring tentioner support?

does it realy help with belt slip? How does it hold up , and failers-Problems using it? How does the belt hold up with it ?

I am running a ATI LS1 super damper and 8 rib solid tentioner procharger set up now, but i am interested in the SD concept spring tentioner for later when i want to make more boost.

It does help with belt slip

we've used SD tensioner with F1A and 18psi, with the ATI bracket we couldn't get past 15psi.
