Yup, that was my first thought. I'm REALLY curious why they didn't use two pulleys, mounted lower then the SC drive pulley, and a single sided belt. They could have maintained the same pulley coverage, and could have mounted the tensioner assembly at a 45 deg which would have made it easier to adjust while it's mounted to the car. This way, all pulleys have to be cut with a gear pattern, they have more pulleys, and a longer & more expensive belt. I'm wondering what was in the way. ???
