supercharger pulley question...

[cbarr300]

well, I was doing a bit of a burnout when I saw my boost gauge suddenly drop to zero....

I had the belt on a little bit differently than it should be and checked for clearance and all looked good. I guess it wasn't good at 6000 rpm lol. Belt was completely shredded.

anyhow, I figure it was a sign for me to change my vortech pulley. If I was to go with a 2.95" pulley would I use the stock size vortech belt (since it has a tensioner)? Or would I be better off just getting one from vortech made for that pulley size. I've also heard there would possibly be some slipping with the 2.95. any input?

common sense says to go with the vortech belt made for the pulleys...just looking for some opinions.

thanks

ok....so I'm going to go with a 2.95 pulley and a bit smaller belt with a tensioner piece.

also, as a side note. I put a new belt on the s-trim and got the stock tensioner as tight as I could get it. This thing has to be making more boost now. before I could kinda hear a whistle at idle and that was it.

Now, this thing sounds like a jet engine or something, especially when accelerating. Feels like it pulls harder, too.
