03 cobra s/c belt tensioer ?

03 cobra s/c belt tension ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i just put the other metco 100 mm idler on it i had a shorter belt thats new. the ten. is so tight it only got 1/8 of movement after the belts on. i want to make sure it dont slip at the dyno. or i'll be wasting my money. so i got 2x100 mm idlers up top now.

i got a regualr gates belt,,or does the thing the gatorbacks belts grip better?

i still got the stock lower pulley with the 2.75 it will be tuned with.. is 31ft.lbs is enough tension,that checking it in gear with the e brake on with a tq wrench on the s/c bolt it clicks at around 31 lbs.when the belts hot ,then i can see it slip on the crank pulley,, see if that enought ten, if not im going to have to pass maybe on the tune?? i hope im still good

i got a stock tensioner on it btw,

GO CHECK YOURS WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE like i did, most of you got larger lower pulleys , i want to see what lbs everyone starts to slip at , and name your pulley combo , idlers , thanks a bunch

this might not be the way to check it , be just wanted to see where other where at , if its not to much trouble.

thanks for the reply i got only 100 mm ider as you can see in this old pic .i had only 1 100mm out at the snub idler, that pulley is a 3.25 ,
i got 2 100mm up top now. so the way i checked it isnt the correct way then? , right now its got about 1/4 from being all the way to the stop . plus the tang that stop the ten. from going any father is broken off its ,whant im trying to say is that the ten. does have a 1/4 inch of travel.
