Complete with belt size...

Just for the sake of info, Zack...

This is on the way up to the alternator. Aside from using up some belt I don't see how it would do anything for belt wrap on the PC pulley or anything.

Do they state what it does for them?

[Zack]

Belt tension and belt wrap are a debatable topic.
Some say tension is key, some say belt wrap.

When you suddenly take your foot off the gas (from WOT) on a Centrifugal car running high boost, the belt tensioner lets go very suddenly and the belt will start hopping around.
The area where the belt has the highest probability of coming off a pulley is the alternator or PS pump because of the huge distance of a ZERO tension zone.
This pulley will not only remedy that, but aid in better belt tension as well.
The 2 go hand in hand.

I can definately see belt lash being helped, especially with the PC pulley for our cars not having a back shoulder.

To remedy mine, I ground into the valve cover a bit for clearance and put on a shouldered pulley.

I think this would help ANY Procharger owner, but High HP especially based on your explanation.

How would this part work in the grand scheme of things if it could be modified to fit?

That is a nice part Ed!

Still have to see if Steeda will make this fit for us. I saw it first hand at a Bradenton meet.
