Vortech belt and pulley questions Hi all,
I've been a way for a while (car not running and other projects). What are the best belts for a vortech ysi these days? Is it the gates hd green belts or is there anything else out there that is as good or better? I'm running a standard gates micro v and it's time for replacement.
Also, on the pullies, are there any "magic" pullies out there with more grip than the standard ones? I am running a generic 2.75 right now and have in the past used the "renegade finish" bead blasted vortech one. Every once in a while I see something pop up but it's been a while.
I don't have much of a belt slip problem at my current level but you never know!
thanks!

in my search I saw gates rpm but they're only in limited sizes. The closest to mine is a k080600rpm which is a 60". I think I'm running in the high 50's right now (58 or 59"). I'll need to verify but I may have answered part of my question but there may be some work involved with bigger idler pullies.

I did a quick check and they do offer my belt size in a hd but not the rpm so I'll probably give it a go.
