The effectiveness is the same to keep the tension as long as you make sure you get a 3" OD idler.
I see no reason to overrev your engine for SC'd Z especially if your using a self-lubricated head unit. The max RPM of your SC has already set a upper bond. Below that you can simply change the pully setup to get the power you need. Be sure to not go overboard to exceed its compressor efficiency otherwise the heat soak issue will make you beat a dead horse.
What oil pump are you using? |
I'm actually running engine oil through it, so the stock 370z oil pump. The company here in Aus who upgraded it did that so it doesn't have the self lubricated part anymore, that thing is crap haha, so I've tapped into my sump for the return etc..
Thought it would get a higher peak figure with the higher rev range and shift into a higher range for the following gears, probably overthinking it lol
