I noticed once it got cold and wet I have a squeak in either the blower idler pulley or Alternator pulley that goes away once the car is warm, any idea what it could be?
Car isn't driven in the rain.

Sure it's not just the belt squeeking?

Coud also be the blower belt. They tend to stretch so you need to re-tension them after a while.

on the Cobra the Belt is 1, there is no blower belt.
So why would it do it at start up and idle but not WOT?

the belt is slightly too long
at WOT you cant hear it over the exhaust.

try spraying some wd 40 on one pulley at a time to see if it goes away. if not then spray some on the belt itself and see if it goes away. that can help you narrow it down
trick I learned from a fellow board member

soap on the underside of the belt works too, a bar of soap not that liquid stuff
