- Stresses and vibrations evaluated with Finite Element Analysis and prototype testing.
- Tensioner placed in its proper position – between the air conditioner compressor and the crankshaft pulley, in the "slack" portion of the belt.
- Belt and tensioner geometry optimized for proper belt tension – equivalent to OEM tension requirements.
- All pulleys aligned with each other within SAE specifications.
- Zinc plated fasteners used throughout for corrosion resistance and great appearance.
- Most brackets made from 6061-T6 aluminum for light weight, good looks, and rust-free appearance. Matches the all-aluminum LSx engines. Low mount AC bracket is power coated steel.
- All plates are cut on a computer-controlled, ultra-high pressure water jet.
- All tensioners, pulleys, belts, compressors, alternators, etc. are standard, easily available items.
- Uses Sanden 508, SD5, or SD7 compressor.
