Also, for what it’s worth, the Whipple tensioner is an OEM LT4 tensioner. The original post in this thread has that incorrect. My thoughts are that the LT4 tensioner was designed for 8 ribs and when you use it on 10 ribs the tension per rib is less, leading to unsatisfactory performance at top level blower speeds. The LT5 was designed for 11 ribs so it should rock and roll on a 10 rib belt.
