    looks nice, but i don't think i want to spend $170 for it. i think i'll stick with the over sized tensioner when i do ic. off topic, i like the plug wire bracket on top of the blower. where did you get it?

    Shawn,

    Thanks for posting your findings so far. Even with an oversized tensioner pulley I see about 7 kPa worth of slip with my 2.8 pulley. While not much in psi, it still makes for inconsistant WOT tuning.

    One thought though. Would this not put a higher concentration of stress in a smaller spot. Kind of like being able to put your finger tip through saran wrap versus your open palm or walking normal versus walking on tip toes? Truely I don't have the answer, but merely making an observation.

    Of-course it's going to put more stress on a smaller spot, which as a result of that is going to cause it to apply more pressure down onto the pulley. Which is easier? Putting your finger through saran wrap or your whole, open palm, hand?
