So I just had a custom stage 2 installed with HP tuners...(not by a dealership.. )..the kit that I got did not include the stage two belt though...i am running a 2.8 pulley...I have noticed that when I am in netural and rev the car to higher RPM's I hear a loud squeel that seems to be coming from the SC....is this because I am not running the stage two belt? Or could it be something else? Also...when running through a gear sometimes i can tell there is some lag that the SC takes to catch on and pull...

any suggestions would be helpfull...Thanks



Also, anyone that has a belt I could buy please PM me...

 

should be obvious, belts slipping, check the instal, make sure the ribs of the belt and pulley are lined up, that doesnt help then get the stg 2 belt, i have a 2.9 and dont slip any more, i used belt dressing tho,

 

yeah it is obvious what the problem is..just wanted to get some input and see if anyone else uses the stock belt on a smaller pulley with any problems...

 

ohh my bad, thats weird tho i would check the seating of the belt, mine used to squeel like a dying squirrel but its seated just fine now. what brand of pulley are you using?

 

You will need the smaller belt...

 

You will need the stage 2 belt or belt tensioner.

^ i have that exact tensioner if you want to buy it off me, 65, brand new never installed, still has the washers zip tied to it. never needed it.

 

lol its all good..I'm using the intense 2.8 pulley...so I should be good with just a stage two belt??

So with this tensionaer I can just keep my current belt?? Hmm I would think it would be just better to go with a samller belt though

 

No... You really need to get the Stage 2 belt. Also... the smaller the pulley... the harder it is for the engine to turn that S/C... SO, you are going to get some Blower Lag down in the lower RPM's until the engine makes enough power to turn that blower a little bit better.

 

haha I never looked at it that way... how that a SC can have lag..WTF..

 

Ya I would just go with the smaller belt. I think the tensioner is really for the guys runner small pulleys < 2.6"
