Best 8 Rib Belts

What's the best 8 rib Procharger belt avail. these days?

I've only had to tighten the belt once, during the intial dyno tune. Now it's loosing about 3# or so at the track. The car has a Dayco belt on it now (Part # 5080430).I've been reading about the Gates Micro V belts or greenbelts. Currently running 5.25 procharger pulley and 7.65 crank pulley. I'll get the belt tightened up one more time and then move on to the upgraded belt.

I have always had good luck Gates belts. Napa uses a gates belt as well and sticks it in a napa box.

Mike, a belt from Napa should do the job. Take it easy on it for an hour of use, then re-tighten it before going wot. Bob
