A/C belt
Is there a way I can go back to the older style AC belt setup that runs a tensioner? I absolutely hate this design!

I agree... the stretch belts can be a pain. I damaged mine when I did a cam swap a few months back and overstretched it getting it off. It caused it to squeal after I reinstalled it because it wouldn't stay in the groves on the HB. I ended up having to replace it and I used one of those Gates brand install tools to get the new one on. They are about $10 on amazon. I have a link to it in my video.

I looked into the tensioner but we do not have enough room to use one. Mine comes off when I road course... it sucks...
