    Will be replacing both supercharger belt tensioner and idler, but I can’t find the torque spec. Does anyone know? Thank you in advance.

    Above is correct, but, honestly, when I replaced the s/c tensioner, I just put a little blue Loctite on the threads and tightened it up nice and snug. This is not critical like cylinder head to block studs or main and rod bearing caps.
