<VV> Fan Tensioner

[Bryan Blackwell]

Note - the original question was regarding a 6500 rpm engine at 
track/autocross events.  For street use the stock setup works well, and 
if it doesn't on a relatively stock engine something is wrong.  For 
competition use you may have issues (although silicone spray can work 
wonders).

I'll also point out that the old time Corvair guys can remember a time 
when getting a good Corvair belt was tough.  Again, good is "can 
survive an upshift which pins the stock tach".
