Tyler, we do prefer this over the manual tensioner, although we have used those also. The problem with a manual tensioner is it does not take up slack at high rpm caused by belt stretch. To compensate we ran the belt tension high so it would work out in the high rpm band. After some dyno testing we found the high walls would keep the belt on at high rpm and the spring tension would keep the belt from slipping. We may someday give this part a number and make some quantity, but right now they are made one off, and only used on engines that run sustained speed over 7500rpm.

what you have mentioned above i have thought about and didnt really like the idea of manual tensioners.... there is a need for these and if you could get them to cost around 100$ i think they would be a good piece...
however i am still interrested because i still need a good working tensioner.
Thanks,
Tyler
Tyler, I have never used this tensioner on a blower belt. If your blower is seperate and you need the tensioner to run your normal 6 rib beltline, this pulley will keep the belt on.
I understand on the cost, but we don't use enough parts to warrant production of this part at this time.
Let me know if you need one and I will ship it your way.
