squealing belts wd40??????

was wondering if anybody knows if it is safe to spray on WD40 on our belts?
my belts have just recently started to squeal and i tried tightening it and checked for damage, everything is good.
so a friend suggested wd40 stating that it works for him.
thanks in advance

No dude... thats bad... Go buy some belt dressing but its just a cover up. Take it to a mechanic and see the actual reason why its squealing... with all those mods you should be able to afford a check up at least =X Hahaha

Nice as* mods to your car by the way =)

Have you ever dyno'd your car? How much HP/TQ?

Absolutely not. You need to test the deflection of the belts and make sure they're within spec. I believe the spec is something like .4" to .5". You'll need the FSM to do it right.
