Belt squeal after pulley kit install
Just installed my EvoSport pulley kit, headers, and heat exchanger...
I have a major supercharger belt squeal on initial startup and sometimes when taking off from a traffic light. I tried some belt dressing which only works temporarily.
Anyone else have this issue?
Should i try a new supercharger tensioner? Belt does seam tight.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I've had great results with this:

Apply in between where the S/C clutch makes contact.

The belt should be a bit tighter with the plenum spacers installed. I will try the tensioner first. Just figured I would see if any of you had the same issue. All of my pulleys are new with the exception being the small accesory idler on the left side. It's definately coming from the SC belt. I removed it and the squeal went away.
