A belt alone is not going to fix your problem with a 3.4" pulley.

 

what about with a hd tensioner ?

 

what procharger brackets do you have? the new or older style

 

Good call. Are you already running the newer "V-style" bracket? It moves the idler pulley closer the the head unit pulley and increases the belt wrap.
The bracket looks like this:



A second option is to run a Reichard Racing pulley. Great grip and 3.4" is a pretty common size for his Procharger pulleys.

yes on both i got the newer brackets that put the head unit higher and away from the master cylinder , and i already have a 3.4 reichard racing pulley. how much are the hd tensioner from magna ?

 

what length belt are you running?

 

I ran the same Goodyears belt for 20k miles (3.7" standard pulley) on a P-1SC @ 10lbs.
I went and picked up about 5 different length belts and used the belt that basically had to be pried on. I was within a 1/4" of max tension on the stock tensioner. Over time I built up a slight coating of belt dust around the pulley but boost was always rock solid at 10lbs at redline.

its a napa micro-v 25-061130 not sure on the length of it thou what size should i be running you think ? maybe throw out some part numbers if you got them ... thanks

 

With the RR pulley and an HD tensioner I think you'd be good to go. I had very good results with the Gates HD belt (its solid green on the back side and ugly) on RR pulleys. I'd call Joe at leftcoast32 for your HD tensioner needs. Probably run you about $350.
