So I got with Frank after the introduction thread and told him of our issues with cams that thump. You can see in the video that the tensioner cannot control belt chatter. The PS would get jerky, the tensioner would bounce all over and the belt would get some really bad harmonics.
Frank made an offer we couldn't refuse, pay for a pulley and if it doesn't work send it back for a full refund including shipping. So the tensioner arrived Tuesday. We put it on today and we have a 99% improvement. Still have a little belt squeak but it's not out of control and I think the squeak will go away with a fresh belt. This one has an entire summer on it with the old tensioner and I am sure it's worn pretty good.
As soon as it's downloaded we have video of the tensioner on a dyno pull as well. Even with the old belt we saw full boost with no slip. I would recommend the ARS tensioner to anyone.

I'm so much happier with it, as Erik said my belt is beat, coolant, power steering fluid, running about a year on it. This tensioner is seriously nice piece of hardware, really well made.if you notice bottom is notched so you have so get 15mm wrench on it, also the hole is 1/2inch.

It looks stout. Much bigger ..very heavy duty. Is a larger belt required?

Had to adjust the adjuster pulley just a little.

this may solve or vastly reduce my belt slipping issue. Plus from the increased size I would be able to back off on the screwy tensioner have for the independent drive on the Maggie. Certainly going to the top of the list of winter projects for the car.
