Announcing TopgunZ ACE Supercharger Kit!

I thought the ACE kit came with RPM belts but both of yours appears to be the non-RPM version. Did they downgrade the belts when they changed them or you have always had the non-RPM version?

Edit: I just noticed the tensioner is in a different spot between the two pictures, why is that? What's the difference between the first and second pictures?

Did the ACE kit come with a serpentine RPM belt? I thought it was just the sc belt. Good catch on the tensioner pulley, I didn't notice that.

Maybe it didn't, I'm not sure. I suspect it's possible with the ACE kit configuration though. I tried to move the tensioner to that very bottom bolt hole and the RPM belt was about 1" too short. When I talked to Aaron and asked how he did it, the tensioner doesn't use that lower bolt hole but some new hole some where between the two. If I had to take a wild guess that would be right about that 1" difference needed to run the RPM belt. I'm jealous.

Great catch about the location of the tensioner! The first pic was when I got the car back from the initial install. The second is when I got it back after the first service of the Supercharger and I had some boost loss. They said the belt was slipping and changed out the serpentine belt and must have moved the tensioner. I would assume that they used whatever belts came with the kit but I may be wrong.
