Whipple tensioner pulley 5th failure - Page 3

Mike (toohighpsi) has a new tensioner that Jason Levia is running with 28 psi of boost and not slipping. I don't know where he's at in production but if you have a problem you might look into his system. I ran as much as 19 psi and never had any slipping with my 2650 using the Griptec pulley. I used belts that were almost to short and it was tough getting it on and that's how it should be. You want to use up almost all the tensioner to keep them from slipping.

Whipple 2.9 failed me 5 times in less than a year. Twice after Whipple's recommended guy did the repairs and system checks.
