did you have to remove or grind down and tensioner stud???

No, I have not started the swap yet because I'm deployed right now lol, but when I do it, I'll be using the OEM one, with a max hp goal of 850. I'm not going to expect that thing to last 50,000 miles, but I'm not going to daily drive the galant anymore either.

Yeah at the beginning of my build i just wanted a faster car, but somewhere along the line i decided to go all out lol. I figure she'll be a weekend toy or summer cruiser / track car.
