Yea- its an easy mod- I did it a while ago. A small dremel works best- you need to pull the tensioner off the stops, then grind down the stop a bit to allow the tensioner to swing more. Just take it slow and test fit it with the belt a couple times until you have the right amount of tension.

Do you have link or a DIY I could follow. I know it is pretty strait forward.

Do not do this Mod. It does not increase your tension. Just helps you install the wrong belt and create bigger problems later.

If you are going past the stop there is little spring load to help with proper belt tension.

If you are not going to have an SC I guess it does not matter as much, but alternator may slip often unnoticeably.

Cant say i agree. I have had mine adjusted since day one. i dont use it to account for the wrong size belt- but rather it helps keep belt tension in higher rpm as the belt really stretches out. Ive walked 2-3 belts right off the boost pulley because the belt loosened up in the top end... And they were within the marks on the tensioner at the beginning of the pull.
