I've never lost a belt, still stock tensioner.

I never lost a belt either with the stock tensioner and have dished out plenty of abuse. What size pulley was he running?

Ummmmmmmmmm............' Cause I wasn't driving!

I ran 11.69 N/A on a stock Longblock and stock tranny in my car and my "Street Tune".

I think he was running a 3.25 with stock BULLITT lower. I offered a different tensioner, but he wanted this set up.

Whoa! You've never broke a belt or bent a tensioner? I'm surprised, because power shifting seems to be the key to throwing a belt. Maybe some blowers are better aligned than others.

I want that steeda drive system. I just don't want to pay for it.

That's a nice looking kit. The fact I would have to change out the hood killed the idea for me.

Hey there Liberty, don't give-up so quickly.....!!! If you have a stock hood on your '06 GT you don't have to
replace it. It's just a minor modification to the inside of your hood. You just notch out a little piece of metal and you are " Good To Go ".

10GTSTANG- I think it does......and new motor mounts would give the clearance you need and stiffen up the whole drivetrain which IMO is essential with more power....never miss shifts either due to the fact the trans and motor stay aligned under all that TQ!
