Name this Squeak

Ive got it down to somewhere on the supercharger belt-line. When I remove the belt and start the engine, the noise is gone.

I hear it mostly at idle and slight acceleration.

Where should I start?

do you have any aftermarket idlers or any pullies.

With aftermarket idlers, I've heard that some of the bearings wear out quickly. If an aftermarket pulley, check to see if you have the right size belt, or maybe it's just old and worn. Running too short of a belt will cause stress on all of the bearings... hopefully not in the s/c snout. The supercharger bearings sound more like a "warble" when they start to go.
There's also always the possibility that it's the tensioner.

Put a metal bar against some stationary parts of the system with it running (be careful!), and put your ear up to the other end of the bar. You can hear a lot this way.

Good luck.

I have a Gatorback belt and a stock belt. Both squeak.

I'll try and check the individual pulleys. Thanks!
