Also, with our stock cams it's gonna be a dog near the 4500 point due to the
cams anyway. I sent you the info, but I may as well post it here as well:

Randy Pile (785-478-1106) has a custom belt tensioner for the Supercharger
and a custom bracket for clamping it down, and you need a longer belt. From
what I understand the PowerDyne mounting position is really bad on the
Alternator pulley because of the angle, this fixes that and gives you a
tensioner (it's not automatic though:().

I'm still waiting on Powerdyne to get the damn Supercharger to me, The last
2 weekends I've been drooling to install it, maybe it will show up today or
tommarow for this weekend.

Randy Pile carries a modified belt tensioner that sits below the regular
one. This gives you three points of contact on the belt instead of just
two (pulley and tensioner). Think of it as another idler pulley.

I'll be installing mine this weekend with some pictures Tim.

He pulls timing out up top, and dumps fuel into it... I took my blower
off to check to see if a problem I had went away 2 days ago, and I
noticed when it was down low, pulled like a SOB, but when ya go near
4500, she was a dog, I didnt wait for the 5400 shift point... :-)
