Get the Maggie upgrade direct. Blackbear is a member on here so just send him a PM, or send one to BlownChevy. Another source is Joe @ Leftcoast32 - real expert on this stuff. If u break one of these it cause ur tensioner is bangin on the stop @ throttle, so u need to change the tensioner set up and/or belt length. R/
