Anybody running an 8-rib belt on a centrifugal setup? I ran one on my ProCharger system before converting to the Whipple, but this tensioner wasn't available then so I had to fab up something to modify the OEM tensioner.

Some folks swapped to the 3-bolt tensioner type timing cover. I tried both ways and actually had better luck with the single bolt tensioner setup.

Just wondering if anybody had tried this tensioner yet, I may get one in the future. I'm running two 8-rib belts on my setup and have concerns with replacement part availability for my modified single bolt tensioner.

I will be ordering this tensioner this summer. When the new engine is ordered and the boost goes up I convert to 8rib set using ford parts, got a list form the mach 1 forums
