Once i had car home from the dyno i checked over the engine , noticed the fan belt had frayed front edge, pulled it off and it had actually lost1/2 inch off the width.
Stuck a new one on and when driving tonight i hear a slappity slap in engine bay , pulled over n had a look and the fan belt had lost bout 1/4 inch off width.
No sharp edges on pulleys, none are buckeled or loose. Hadnt done it before tuners..... Ill take em all off and replace with new

Ok , ive been thinking whats best. Decision is call Aviaid on tuesday morning( monday your time) order a stage 4 dry sump kit... That fixes my quest for a few more ponies and will address my pulley set up as a whole.

So to have the car running until i order and its delivered i made the oem tensioner into a manual. Worked out where on fulrum the belt was tight, held it in place while i drilled a hole rite thru the tensioner and put bolt thru
Works a treat

Decided while im waiting for the aviaid setup to arrive id throw an aeroflow tensioner on, I have some land 100miles from home and didnt want to risk using my bolted together tensioner...
arrived without issue. Lovin the power out on the open road, makes overtaking much safer. Did a few laps in the paddock to which the kids love...
Will dry sump cool engine oil more than wet sup. Im thinkin in theory it will

It will definitely keep the engine well lubricated at higher RPM's and also on the racetrack in high g cornering.
How high are you revving your engine to?

7400rpm mate.... I will get it back on the dyno next week and get a print out to see where ill set my limiter at. Its still pulling hard at 7400rpm. This cam kicks in bout 3000rpm then when you hit 6000rpm it kicks hard again.

That's the rpm my HP begins falling off.
Wet sump would be at the limit but if it's not a drag car and you aren't driving it hard all the time it should be ok.
i hope you have a high pressure pump installed too.
