Default Goodyear Gatorback Belts = The Bomb!

As everone knows I've been fighting belt slippage every since the cam swap. Last night I even broke my brand new Paxton $50 Tensioner and Arbor. I build a tensioner with $3 and a trip to a hardware store and replaced both my serpentine belt and blower drive belt with Gatorback belts.

All slippage is gone! That means tonight I will make some tuning videos and post them up.

who stocks them? i can't find them anywhere

*edit* neeeeevermind. found them on summit.

they're really good belts, i've used them on every vehicle i've owned. they handle high heat (i live in NM) a lot better than regular serp belts.

They are certainly great belts. Here is where I match the size to the belt I need.

Well, I guess you can tell from the videos my belt slip is completely gone at all rpm levels as well as heat ranges. I also dropped a belt size down to a 102" belt. 4061020 6PK2590 But Gatorback is no holds bar the best belt I've ever ran with the blower setup.
