Will I expierence Belt Slip with a 2.9? or should I stay safe with a 3.0?
I don't want to pay for a tensioner or idler pulley. lol.

 

I think you will be ok with the 2.9" I take it you don't have GM stg2

 

if you have the gm stage 2 belt you will be fine, ive gota 2.7, with the stage 2 belt, no slip.

 

the stock belt will probably slip with a 2.9... the stage 2 belt will be fine.

 

Oh i would not use the stock belt with a 2.9. lol. I was wonder'n if that GM S2 belt would not slip on a 2.9. Cause it said anything lower than 3.0 u'll need an idler pulley or tensioner. but thanks guys for your help.
and dam distillion....2.7 with no slip? I think i'lll just do the 2.9

 

yup, no slip, now i got a meth plate under the blower so its even tighter

 

go get an idler pulley from a cadillac catera, thats what i did and it cost under 10 bucks. if you dont want to spend 10 bucks on an idler pulley you really should rethink modding.

 

heheh yeah.. I don't want to spend $10..that's rediculous. hahah j/p lol.. well put though lol

 

I'm running a 2.8 with stock belt. Only slips past 7k rpms sometime 6.5k depends on the weather. I have a stage 2 belt, i'm just lazy.

 

2.85 and no problems with stg2 belt
