Hey all,

CAR: 03' Mustang GT, Vortech V2-Si, Built 4.6.

I was curious if anyone know's any tricks to checking the alignment of the pulley's on a Vortech Supercharged GT. My serpentine belt was chewed up pretty badly, and I would like to make sure that all my pulley's are aligned.

Secondly, does anyone know the correct length of the belt that I should buy to replace it? I've heard a 112.5" belt is correct, but I would like to confirm this.

Thanks!

-Thomas.

Are you running a single bolt tensioner?? Bc that length sounds about right for a 3 bolt.

indeed, i specifically recall using a 112.5" belt on my combo...113" was just not "quite" snug enough

After many hours of pain, cuts and choice words, I found a hit of a number on the old belt. Turns out that I was running a 108 and 1/8" belt.

I guess I could have added more specifics. I'm running the 2.87 pulley and a single bolt tensioner (for now). Gates had the correct Kevlar reinforced belt (Napa) and everything fits fine with no slip now.
