I am surprised Mr. Whipple has not corrected you on this set-up. I had belt issues on my 8.3 and talked to him directly and he informed to do the opposite.
I was told directly by Mr. Whipple to run the belt tight cold and not sloppy as before in order to avoid shearing all the cogs off the belt. He indicated not super tight but with just a tiny bit of give in the belt when it warms up.
As for getting superchargers out quick it all depends on who the customer is. If your a big buyer from Whipple you will get it ASAP. If your average performance boater get in line. Their customer service is also not the best [but still a 4 out of 5 star is not bad] had a pulley go bad due to improper alignment from the factory and I had to pay to correct a problem on the pulley stand which came from Whipple in the wrong length for the application.
Overall, I love my Whipple supercharger...EFI is the only way to roll IMO. It idles and shifts smoothly and put's out monster power on demand. Plus, you set it and forget it currently 135 hours and counting.
Lastly, no one commented on the low profile of the Whipple it fits nicely under my hatch and in most upgrade scenarios requires very little if any hatch mods.
As pointed out earlier Whipple needs to ratchet up the customer service area and fill orders in a timely fashion. As this will certainly earn them five stars. Nevertheless I would certainly recommend their products to any performance boater.

Any part that has a mfg'ing defect will be replaced at no charge within 1 year of ship date. thats our standard warranty. I think your refering to the idler pulley and the fact that somebody ground the spacer (on locating side) it runs on causing it to not run true.

We always stop and adjust the belt when the motors are hot to make sure its set up proper after new belts are put on and check it every once in a while for the heck of it.
