Tensioners

Anyone running one of these? Input?


Katech truck tensioner

Those are supposed to solve many problem on the fbodies. The harmonics of the fan belt sometimes causes the belt to fly off during heavy acceleration. I never had it happen before but others posted they had on LS1Tech. I imagine a vibrating bouncing belt eats a couple HP up. I have double idlers on my S&P a/c kit and they are fixed like the Katech pulley so the same concept is in motion.

I wish they made one for the radix...it seems that magnuson, in their infinite wisdom, used a belt tensioner off of a 89 Ford F150 300 six cylinder, and a pulley off of a 97 up chevy truck. I have broken 3 tensioners myself. I have to think twice before a hard kick down and I can't wind it up in a gear and let off quickly if I do kabang.

I am interested in it, but for some reason it says it can't be used with a supercharger. But I can't understand why not???
