Usually when a belt is out of alignment its the blower pulley and not the tensioner and idler pulleys. We've inserted shims (thin washers) on the posts between the blower and the mounting bracket to correct the problem. If its the alternator or a/c then its not the supercharger's fault.

Umm...either it'd be close, or you'd lose most likely. They have RWD, but you have a slight weight advantage. Honestly there's no way of telling accurately, because you're not telling us how much power each of you is making (it's too hard to guess). Just race and find out, like you've been told in your post in another forum.
