I noticed considerable belt dust around the Alternator pulley; upon close examination noted that the DLM installed Supercharger pulley nose is abutted tighly against the alternator pulley. I have called DLM to take the car in. Question has anyone had this problem? Is SRT-10 alternator adjustable-thought I might be able to pull it away(down)from the SC pulley.

Alternator is not adjustable. DLM uses a unique supercharger bracket than Paxton so I am not up on it. The Paxton kit mentions pulling away from the engine when tightening the supercharger if clearance is too small. Mine was okay without loading.

No, alternator is not adjustable.

Yes, my standard issue Paxton setup had the same problem just after installation. My installer loosened everything, put some upward pressure on the supercharger, added loc-tite to all of the fasteners and re-tightened. So far, no further problems in about 4000 miles. This is a very tight fit, my clearance is only about .060, but it seems to be holding.

Good luck.
