COMP CAMS® BILLET LS1 BELT TENSIONER PROVIDES A BETTER SOLUTION

The new belt tensioner is an “essential” performance upgrade for 1998-2002 F-Body LS1 engines, allowing precise control over serpentine belt tension. This CNC machined billet aluminum tensioner is a direct bolt-on replacement for the original equipment spring loaded tensioner and can be torqued to the exact belt tension required. Best of all, it controls damper resonance often encountered in high rpm applications or when aftermarket balancers are utilized. By controlling resonance, belt slippage - a common problem in high performance LS1 engines - is eliminated.

THE BG SPEED

A constant-duty Fuel Pump for Hotrods and Truckswith power outputs of up to 650 HP.  With two models available—Enduro (carburetors: PN 171005) and Sumo (fuel injection: PN17106), these compact, quiet, fuel-cooled pumps have a built-in heat sink to dissipate heat.  They can be mounted horizontally or vertically and contain no shaft seals; therefore, are virtually leak-free. The Speed pumps feature Gerotor-style gears, contain micro-fine cleanable stainless steel filters with a dry-break design that prevents fuel from leaking while inspecting or servicing the filter.

Constructed from billet aluminum with anodized coatings applied to all wear surfaces, the Speed pumps produce in excess of 325 lb/hr @20 or 45 PSI.  BG Speed pumps should be used in conjunction with a bypassing fuel pressure regulator.
