Also the super tensioner CANNOT improve crank belt wrap as you asked earlier in a post it will only have better tension that the stock tensioner.
I don't mean to come off as an ass ,even though it may seem like it. But I think you really need to look at the set-up and if you did put on the S/C yourself then all this should be self explanitory and its just down to a decision on what to buy. Nobody is going to tell you anything is the end all to ALL belt slip because I don't think anything is to that point everyone is stll growing through all of this.
In my opinion the Supertensioner works, as it gets tighter with RPM it pulls away from the pulley on the Maggie set-up which lessons your belt wrap. I was looking at some way to put another slide idler pulley in to keep good belt wrap at high RPM with it but just doesn't seem like enough room.

No. You're fine. Trust me.
I get how it works. I know where the cog drive goes and how it works. I know what the supertensioner does and where it goes and how it works. I only wanted to confirm that the supertensioner is not the way for me to go because I can not be guaranteed that it will stop all of the slippage.
And the cog drive will take care of it because I'll have much more belt wrap on front and if there were slippage on the rear too, then the cog drive would take care of that as well even though it would be two new pulleys anyway.
Form what I am gathering, the supertensioner is really not in the equation because a 2.8" pulley is STILL too small for a 6 rib stock belt.
I guess the confusion is that the supertensioner is still in the conversation?
