Default Vortech SC belt sizing

Where do you guys get your belts? I'm running a 6" crank, 2.75" on the SC. Currently have a belt from NAPA (41" HD green truck belt IIRC) and I think its slipping. The auto-tensioner looks maxed out and I can push/pull the belt about 3/4". Can't find any charts, and i'm thinking about putting on my 2.5" pulley soon. I want a good belt that will last. How many miles do they typically go before needing replacement? Any help appreciated, thanks!

I was told not to use the Green belts as they will cause slip. Just use the standard belt from Napa (made by Gates).

Thanks. I'm wondering if that Green material is made out of something funny because i smell burning when I punch it hard, never get that odor unless in boost.
