Corvette is making Whining noise

[Ironranger30]

Hey guys, i got a quick question. i have a 2003 Z06 Corvette. When you get it up in the R's around 6000-redline the car whines like it has a supercharger. I dont feel a loss in power or feel any different, but im just wondering if anyone would know what that might be? Tensioner pully maybe or bearing in one of the idler wheels or something. If anyone has any idea what this could be let me know pleese.

thanks Everyone.

I think that's the noise from the dyno roller itself.

Casey- I owned a 1997 that needed a new tensioner at around 60k miles. It whined at an idle and then again near red line. I needed to replace the belt, tensioner, and idler pulleys.

There are a couple service bulletins about belt squeak. Here is a link to a TSB search I did for your problem-
Corvette Action Center Knowledgebase :: Search :: belt

Hope that helps!

Sounds like a female Corvette. Sell it and get a male, they never piss and moan or whine.
