15% pulley. some questions.

I have just ordered:

1.15% pulley
2. NGK cooler running plugs
3. shorter belt
4. MSD coil pack
5. MSD wires

I am also making an intake. I plan to just buy a cone filter, some metal to bend as a heat shield, and i'm not sure what to use as the intake piping. ideally i would bend a 2.5-3 inch metal pipe.

my biggest questions are regarding the DT belt tensioner stop.

1. why is it better than the stock unit(besides wearing easily)
2. why is it 100$ cheaper than the stock unit.
3. do i need it with the pulley?

(side note. my current belt is very worn on only one side (like the inside is worn and the outside isn't that i have seen) any known reasons why???.. the faulty stock tensioner???

and a few questions regarding the cowl mod. i can see how it would improve air flow and even keep the incoming air cooler. but has anyone heard of water coming through because of this? I have sucked up water from other intakes lucky for me it wasn't this baby

Thank you for your help! any advice is much appreciated!
