I agree and remember that it is billet aluminum (not cheap) and should take care of any worrys about HP loss and belt slip! Exx1976 PM sent .....Nineinchnail1024- you just helped push me to buy it sooner anyway so thank you in helping me fall off the wagon and start modding again!
come on stimulus check!

$350 + $20 shipping. Not bad when you consider that it is the ONLY brand that has yet to be broken by anybody. Group buys seem out of the question. It's a popular product.

exx1976: Sorry for not responding sooner. I bought the pulley only at Auto Zone. You can buy the whole assembly for about $50.

Crap! the noise came back after disappearing!! Maybe it is because my belt is too loose causing vibration in the pulley, you know, like slop in the sytem. I have Roush underdrive pulleys with the original belt. Could that do it?? Frustrated.

Alright, so here's the deal. The thump_rrr tensioner is definitely bulletproof, but I did have some hiccups with the install that were my fault. I installed it on the 16th and immediately realized that the pulley that comes on the thump_rrr would not be compatible with the whipple HO. If anyone wants to run a thump_rrr tensioner with the whipple HO, you'll need to visit your local friendly ford parts dealership and purchase a 90mm 8 rib pulley (part # F65Z8678AAA). It will run you about 15 bucks. I bought the pulley, installed it on the thump_rrr, and reinstalled the belt. Started up the car and shredded my belt immediately. Turns out, I hadn't set the belt into the grooves on the power steering pump (my buddy was trying to tell me not to start the car when he noticed, but it was a split second to late) and the car decided to spit the belt across my front yard in defiance. So, I had to order a new gates belt and wait for it to be delivered (and cancel a dyno tune appointment in the meantime). When the new belt came in, I installed it CAREFULLY and CORRECTLY and beat the ever living hell out of the car. This tensioner WILL NOT BREAK, and as a bonus, I'm seeing slightly more boost at WOT. Definitely a thumbs up product.
