So I installed the Way Motors 15% pulley kit which included the pulley, a smaller belt and colder plugs.

At the same time I installed the Alta Adjustable Tensioner Stop.

I followed the directions carefully placing the stop on, replacing the stock damper, without tension, then when installed lengthened the stop until slight resistance is felt then giving it 1/2 additional turn. The belt is routed correctly and seems to be seated on all of the pulleys.

My concern is;
#1 the belt seemed somewhat tight to install but with the installation tool it did go on.
#2 once installed, the hole in the post where the pin is installed to hold the tensioner in position for installing the belt is above the portion of the tensioner the pin normally rests.

Is this common with the shorter belt sold with the 15% pulley kit?

remove that and reinstall the tensioner shock.

That fixed turnbuckle doesn't allow the belt to stay tight under load or at higher rpms as it is fixed so the tensioner can't move out and keep it tight. And if you try to tighten it up it will be too tight at idle and low rpm harming bearings and such.

 

I was actually contemplating removing it. It was was of those things that although it looked good "on paper", once installed I really didn't like how it acted.

I think it's coming off this evening.

I ordered the Alta Tensioner stop. [non-adjustable]

This is what I was trying to achieve in the first place.

Thanks for your input.

Exactly it's one of those things that sounds good on paper, but once you look at it and realize the downsides it no longer is.
