So after getting the DSX kit in, I put it all back together. Went to start the car, and the main accessory belt and blower belt got tangled together, shredding both. Sheesh…. So after picking belt pieces out of my engine compartment (again), I looked and sure enough the main belt tensioner (now 8+ years old even though it only has 14K miles) was puking oil. So, new belt tensioner, new accessory belt, and new green blower belt got ordered up. Then for fun I installed a new LT5 blower belt tensioner too since I had a spare on the shelf (I don’t trust GM…they could discontinue that tensioner at a moments notice). All back together and the belt systems are like new again. The DSX idler pulley relocation kit really improves belt wrap, so fingers crossed we can start seeing what this Whipple 3.0 can really do…!
