Have you ever had crank signal sync loss problems with your MS stuff? We've been chasing a sync loss issue forever with mine, and fairly often when you roll into boost or just wood it, the motor just POPS, or cuts out altogether. I'm about at my wit's end...

Mott, gates belt part # K060770 is the belt you need. There is one size bigger than this that fits but doesnt put enough tension.
