Good work so far!

Here is an idea I did to try to get rid of the belt squeal everytime you start up the car.

Because of the new location of the alt. pulley there is hardly any belt looping around it.

I think what I did was take the supplied tensioner pulley and swap it with the old self-tensioner pulley, just the pulley, not the spring section.

Then I bolted the new pulley onto the sc bracket just low enough for the serpentine belt to go underneath the sc tensioner, rather than above it.

This gave me quite a bit more belt around that alt. pulley and now there is just a minor sqeal on cold start-ups.

I bought a Goodyear Gatorback belt and got it nice and tight... I mean tight as you can.

Start considering this issue now, because I bet you will have it too.

Thanks for the info sc94gt and the photo. I was upset because of the missing part and I was not confident of my set up but looking at yours I feel much better. Again, thanks. The car is not running yet. I will prodive feedback and maybe a video.

badtzmaru, after my install I dynoed 281rwhp baseline with a slight lean at the top.
With a superchip installed I got it to 291rwhp but with a better Air/Fuel graph.
I can't wait to hear how far into the 300's you will get!
Did you hook up your fuel reguator yet?
You must be just about there aside from the missing tensioner.

N/A I am at 265rwhp and 290tq, I am hoping at least in the 350's give or take a few ponies. I am confident that my 5.0 will rise from the dead and conquer plenty of imports and ricers.
