What Aux. Idler Setup is the Best Fro the Money?

Lookin to stop a little slipage issue I'm having! So which idler setup is most effective. I've done some research but can only fing two, the magnum and the LFP... Any others which one would you or did you buy and are you happy with it? Thank You!

Both are excellent, LFP has looks, Magnum has functionality! However, both will perform the intended function well. Very subjective! I've had both, and I switched to Magnum because I got it with the blower as a deal package, and the adjustability rocks.

im using the MotBlue setup from RPMOutlet.com it is the same thing as a metco. im pusing 16PSI... 500hp and no slip and no dust to indicate slip.. all that i know who use the Magnum setup always seem to have belt dust, which in my eyes is an indication of Belt slip.. im using the 100mm pulley and the other idlers are stock.. goodluck with your choice..

I have the MP set up. No belt slip for me. 4lb lower, MP 2.7 upper. Very good set up IMO

I put the Metco Idler set up on and I think the slipage got worse. The only mods I have are FTVB and the Idler pullies. Of coarse the slippage was minimal before the FTVB, but on start up right after I installed the Metco it made an awful noise. Any suggestions on how to stop slippage. I have been toying with trying a gatorback, but am away from home.
