I've searched, but all I find is belt slippage threads, and it's tough to sort through all of the different posts to see what the concencus is regarding which belt is the belt with regards to least amount of stretch, noise, etc. I have a D1SC and the ATI 7.65" 8-rib crank, 4.00" head unit pulley, and Aster's bracket. According to the charts, I need a 52.5" long 8-rib belt.

So who makes the best? Gatorbelt? Gates? Something else?

The goodyear gator back or the NAPA belts are about the best I think. I had a gatorback but the damn thing got shredded and I cant find one around here. Pisses me off.

I've always heard that people have good luck with Gates belts. We use them on 3500hp electric motors where I work for 6-8 months at a time.

Napa has a green belt. It's called a fleet belt I believe. It's bad ***

I use a Gatorback on mine. I have also heard good things about the Napa heavy duty belts.
