Ah chit! The belt adjuster.. Who carries those?
Ps: no drilling and tapping necessary, we're self lubed.
*Edit* Nevermind, my firendly neighborhood harbor freight. But yeah no need to drill and tap.

Ah chit! The belt adjuster.. Who carries those?Hardest part is drilling and tapping the hole in the pan, which you don't have to do. Other than that, its a matter of swapping out part. The Vortech install manual is one of the best out there- very detailed with pictures.
Lay all the parts out and take inventory
READ THE MANUAL before first
Then do the install-
Did you get a belt adjuster? It's about $75 but makes tightening the belt a snap. It's a bracket with a bolt that when you turn on it , it tightens the belt.
That's pretty much my setup. I will be running the supplied fmu and inline pump w 19# injectors. It makes 223 rwhp now I'll let you know how everything goes. I know a place that can get u a deal on one.Im thinking about getting the v3 as well. Is it good for a mostly stock motor (cam, exhaust?) should I get larger injectors and fuel pump as well. I want to do heads and intake down the road too. right now I just have the orange injectors. Any reason not to get it, or to get a different one?
Dang, that first one is $114 and I can't find any place selling the others. When I sesrch all I get is forum chatter.

Then you will need to periodically tighten the belt, as it will loosen up as time goes on. The Anderson piece makes it easier- you simply tighten down on the nut and it pushes out the pulley to tighten the belt.Found the Anderson unit for $96. It says its made for 86-93 but may fit other models if the holes are in the right place. I don't really wanna take a $100 gamble. What if one doesn't get a belt tensioner?
