tjblack91 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I have pulley, tools and tune at the house to do the pulley install, however I am waiting on the Shelby idler setup to ship out of Vegas, so is it safe to install the pulley while I wait for Shelby to ship the idler pulley, provided of course I'm not dogging the car, or should I cool my heels and wait till Shelby gets off their tail and ships my idler setup?

UKGT500 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I wouldn't. The belt will have less tension. I would wait until you have all the bits then tackle the whole install together: I did CAI/pulley/idler/plugs and SCT tune in just over half a day really taking my time and with a blower pulley that just wouldn't come off (needed a little persuasion in the form of heat...) Plus it's frustrating waiting for the other bits. At least you can drive your car safely as it is at the moment... Malc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavisky Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I skipped the fancy tensioner and just run the upgraded VMP 90mm idler underneath the two coolant lines. Works fine on my Steeda pulley and no belt slip to speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
