SC belt measuring ???

>How do you measure for the supercharger belt ? I kind of figure to use a rope , and follow the route of the original belt , but what about the tensioner ... how much slack should I alot for ?

>Thanks ... I ended up measuring (using a long telephone cord) around both pullies and under the tensioner (without moving it) . I hope this is long enough . If not I will order another from NAPA (Gates belt) since they are only $27.00 .
