    I bought the stock replacement one and put it on and the car feels much slower. I figured the tensioner would take up the slack am I wrong? Also its squealing off and on

    It requires a larger belt, you have less power and squealing cuz it's slipping because the tensioner isn't pulled back far enough to apply enough pressure

    I threw the stock belt back on and had no issues on a 3.4...if you don't have belt slip I wouldn't worry about it but every car is different...the safely modding thread I believe has the size chart
    '04 Chevy Silverado LT 4x4 - intake, headers, full exhaust, zo6 cam, 799 heads, tune, leveled, 33's
    '00 Grand Prix GTP DAYTONA 500 - L36 block, S1X, intercooled, GenV, N*, headers, full exhaust, coilovers, 5 speed swap, stage 3+ clutch

    Let us examine this shall we? Pulley is .4" smaller diameter, power is lost, and belt is making noise...

    And the question is should I use a smaller belt?

    I'll just leave that there...
