Default belt

What brand of belt are you guys using on your centrifugals?
I have used Gates in the past, but was wondering about the Goodyear "quite belt" or gatorback.
I'm need around a 88.8

I used the green gates belt on my vortech supercharged fbody and got an average of 25,000 miles of daily driving out of it. It was about $50 from oriley auto parts and had a lifetime warranty.

Thanks
I didn't know if there were some "new and improved" options out there.

I have had good luck with my belts from NAPA, I'm pretty sure gates makes NAPA's belts though. The biggest killer of belts for me has been pulleys not lined up perfect.

Green Back. Other belts seem to stretch to easily on my Procharger set-up.
