Nope I got it.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the info you guys give me. Other than the cam I have installed everything on the car. I understand what you guys are saying, I just want to understand the 'Whys' as much as the 'Whats'. Or maybe better put the differences of the one why as apposed to the other.
I follow what you guys are saying but in order to know exactly what I need for my car I want to know what all of this means together.
I've done things to this point by not learning more about why I was doing them and not just WHAT the parts were and I'm sitting here with the wrong set-up on my car.
I believe it makes sense, I want to know WHY it makes sense.
Example.
I get that a super tensioner will take care of belt slippage better than a stock tensioner (and yes, I've had my tensioner off many times, I know what it does) but is the super tensioner the end all be all? Will it stop all belt slippage? Is that all I need?
And if NOT. If there is still a possibility of my belt slipping then I'd rather not spend the money if a cog drive and bigger pulley on front do the trick.
I don't have anyone here in Lower Alabama who knows anything about this stuff that I've found. I don't have the time or money to do a bunch of trial and error part swapping and I don't have the luxury of past experience. This is my first blown car.
So is a supertensioner all I need? If it can't be said with certainty then what CAN be said with certainty? And if nothing can then I learned something that I had not been told yet.
My biggest problem is that I have nobody to just take my car to. I have to do it all. And I have to find out on here. I've already ended up with stuff on my car that isn't working. I'd love to have someone here to take it to and them dyno it and tell me "You need this, this, and this, and that's it." But I don't have that.
I have to rely on you guys.
Much of this is learned by trial and error and personal experience. It mostly makes sense but some things are not cut and dry. Like the tiny front pulley.
I know I can be frustrating to try and answer but I guarantee I'm not the only one.
I ask questions that some are afraid to ask.
And I still don't know why they sell these tiny pulleys when they don't work. From what I gather, a supertensioner isn't going to guarantee this tiny pulley will work either.
If I'm to understand what you are telling me I should buy the cog set-up AND the supertensioner?
