Does anyone make a belt that has a "grip surface" on the smooth side of the belt?
Does anyone make a belt that has a "grip surface" on the smooth side of the belt? The way my belt routing is I have very little contact with the waterpump pulley. This has never given me issue, but I'd like to be more pro-active about it. Does anyone make a 6 rib belt that has some type of "grip" surface on the smooth side that contacts the water pump?

Unless it's spinning a clutch fan the water pump doesn't eat too much power. I've set up some custom serp drives without much wrap on the water pump and all was fine. Doesn't Mezerie make an electric for the lsx engines with a pulley mounted on it or do I need to put the crack pipe down?

There are few applications that came with grooved on both side belts. I think it was a two year run of the C4 Corvette that uses them. Another option could be the carbonite coating of the pulley surface.
