Default Belt problem fixed... I hope

I cleaned up the motor and added the Thunder Racing Solid Belt Tensioner. Looks good, but does this thing work? Pulled the belt tension to 25 ft lbs, and set the bolt tight for 25 ft lbs as well. test drive time!

Damn... I would have loved to have the Katech piece. Unfortunately, I bought the old style design last week… was not aware that the light weight piece was on the market. BTW, the solid tensioner really does eliminate the thrown belt issue. Looks cool, too!

Katech and Jason are on my Kick *** Customer Service File...the file you don't want to be in is the "Kick Their ***" File. I ordered my Tensioner for the LQ9 6.7 Litre Nitrous Motor LME built me...this thing revs EXTREMELY quickly and I was jumping 1/2 off my power steering pulley. Anyway NICE NICE workmanship, We dyno a 225 shot tomorrow. Thanks Jason. BTW..new piece comes with pulley...Chiltons would give it a .5 TU probably? If you stop for a beer!
