Hi just to let you know, Thumps grip plate you must use his tensioner which makes it 180 +
190 = $370 and I have heard customers on the sites saying the belt slips off the S/C pulley towards the front with his griper plate, I had this problem in my development stages also but fixed the problem works perfect (been on mine for over 10K miles now).
Mosaleen system works with the stock tensioner (which Edelrock makes a plate system that bolts up to the stock tensioner to strenghthen the arm stopping the possiblity of breaking). ??? on price call Edelbrock I dont think its over $90. Or I use the Roush P 51 tensioner and JDM or Brenspeed sale them for $180. Just using the Tensioner and the V-10 water pump pulley will not wrap the belt around the S/C pulley to stop all belt slip as proven by Mike at Troyer performance, mosaleen idler made 27 rwhp gain alone, mosaleen idler and 5.5 inch water pump pulley 32 rwhp, add the shorter belt to this and it made 40 rwhp. Mike Troyers has tested just putting on a tighter belt with no gains but when he added belt wrap and shorter belt big gains, and was able to have a constant for tuning. He was having trouble with trucks coming back with hesitation and power loss. The blets were streching out and slipping worse and worse. This fixed it.
Dont get me wrong Thumprrr makes a great stock Tensioner I just designed this years ago to work with the stock 6 and 8 rib belts hoping to be cheaper for others. Call me and Ill work with you to be a test Saleen at Brenspeed, cut you a deal. Scott

I don't remember selling it, so I think I still have it.
Just take over the payments and you can take her for a test drive. She might be a tad aggressive for a guy your age though.
Good luck John.
Well after spending over 2 hours there, they called me back this week to meet with the manager Thursday.
I thought I pretty much aced that interview, but didn't want to jinx myself. Hopefully after Thursday I will be able to say I am once again employed!
I sure will miss having a heated shop to work on my car tho. And only 8 blocks to drive to work, vs 45 min drive. But hey, I'll get to keep the stang!

Hell I am still making payments on mine so I don't need more debt.
How's that song go????"I ain't as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was" something like that.
