Steeda Belt Drive for Whipple?
Anyone here running the Steeda belt drive on their Whipple? I'm thinking of buying one for mine because I snapped a belt due to a failed UPR heavy duty tensioner. I currently have a 3.125" Whipple pulley which makes about 11-12 PSI. If I got the 11-13 PSI Steeda belt drive, will I need a retune? Steeda is having a 20% off black Friday sale so now is the time to take advantage of this.

I got mine over a year ago when I upgraded to the B302. It is a super nice setup, and looks great too. Congrats on your purchase, I know you will like it. You won't have to worry about any more issues with belt problems after this.

I finished the install last night. It took me 5-6 hrs with many breaks. This install was no cake walk. I had to deal with stuck bolts, etc, etc. Installing the underdrive pulley and changing the Whipple snout took the longest and was a royal pain. You have to remove the Whipple off the motor to clean the old gasket (new one is included) and to change the snout. Lund Racing told me the tune I have should be good so no retune is necessary but they still want me to do some data logs to make sure everything is ok and email the logs to them. So far the car is running good. Feels a little quicker and more responsive. Here's some pics and vid.
