i have just recently bought a katech tensioner and was wondering if anyone DD their car with it? it seems that there is only a bolt on the back keeping it tight so the pulley doesnt move, and that kind of makes me worry... also, it comes with a big fat sticker that says off-highway use only... so i was just wondering if anyone has had any problems with it or anything at all. thanks!!

Daily Drive here with my Katech. The reason I went with this tentioner was at the time, it was the only way to get a pulley with higher lips to prevent the belt from slipping.
With my stock tentioner/pulley the belt kept walking off the damn pulley.
So yeah, Katech puts that sticker on there for 'off road use only'. I dont get why. I feel much safer knowing that the serp. belt won't go flying off when DD and WOT with this pulley over stock.

thanks for the replies guys.... this makes me feel better about having it on there. no one likes thrown belts ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
lol... well its more like 3" off the ground, haha.... but i havent had any problems with it. The exhaust shop did a shitty job on getting good clearance, but there is still plenty of room left for the turbo to go up. I also just got some new springs/shocks that should lift the car up a little as well.... every bit helps!
