F.

For racing and high RPM use, a boost retard

ignition may be installed. The engine should
never be run against the factory rev limiter. If
detonation is detected, discontinue hard use
until the problem is fixed.

G. Belt slippage is usually accompanied by a

squealing noise at high RPM and a leveling off
or fluctuating boost pressure. If belt slippage
occurs, tighten tensioner as follows:

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Loosen the 5/16 nut on the outside of the

belt tensioner plate until the tensioner stud
is just loose. Loosen the jam nut on the
tensioner bolt.

3. Thread in the tensioner bolt until the idler

moves 1/4".

4. Tighten the nut securing the idler stud.

Tighten the jam nut on the tensioner bolt.

5. Test drive the vehicle and repeat steps until

belt slippage is eliminated.

H. Periodically, verify that the supercharger pulley

bolt is tight. Also verify that the belt is not
slipping under boost.
