Hey Ron,

The adjustable belt tensioner plates are in stock. I'll finish one up
for you on Tuesday and will ship that day - you'll need your old
tensioner but can use the same belt.

Results: Gained 3# boost with the 11# pulley on our 2001 Sponsored
truck...he was only getting 6# at max RPM due to belt slippage...the
tensioner fixed that problem. He's at 9-9.5# now and it spools up much
quicker.) Gained 3# boost on my buddies R/T as well (again, belt
slippage at higher RPM's.)

- Bernd

AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!.......Success!!!!

Managed to trim my R/T (reaction time)...and 2/10's
of a second as well!!!!

The gates opened at 5:00pm and by 5:10pm I was in
staging lanes with the hood up cooling of the engine!!

I used the method of a long cool down and packing the
supercharger,discharge pipe, and throttle body air hat with lot's and
lot's of ICE!!!! .......of course right about now a few prayers never
hurt either!!!

The officials opened the track, turned on the lights
at about 6:15pm........"15 minutes till test and tune"
and started giving instructions to drivers in lanes 1 and
2.............yippee......we're FIRST TO GO!! I toss the ice packs in
the closest trash can....shut the hood..............roll towards the
right lane.......no burnout.....just straight to the line while
everythings still ICE COLD!!...........prestage......stage........
yellow light trickles down....(leave on second yellow)
I get a green light (R/T .731)....I'm gone!!!!..BABY!

R/T---- .731
60' ----2.402
330'---6.710
1/8---10.315
MPH--67.92
1000'--13.471
1/4----16.149
MPH--84.06

I made 3 additional run's without benefit of a cool down between
each......Dak ran slower due to my trying a different launch technique
each time trying for more MPH........NO LUCK!!!

I'll need to dyno test and retune the timing and fuel mapping before the
next attempt!! I also will need to get the tranny work completed so high
15's will be a very strong possibility!!
