Yep, I ordered mine the night you posted it. Got it last week. Looks awesome but it will be awhile before I install mine. The one I got from SDCE just became the back up belt! Thanks alot J, let me know what you think of it after you beat on it a bit!

Hopefully it will work and will be able to squeek out .5-1psi more with it, I would like to see 17psi show up on the ol boost gauge

Trust me the belt is going to get a month of abuse before the track reopens hopefully it won't dissapoint....... but man do I need the track to open...got cabin fever already...racing halucinations happen on a daily basis FEB 1st is too far away

Brandon buddy, nice to hear from you. Belt problems have been long gone...lets hope that the gatorback is an improvement mod....a mod that can't hurt so to say....I've always felt that my current 53-1/8 belt was a tad to long but has worked flawlessly since I've put it on But the gatorbacks I used to run always worked a ton better than the standard ribbed belts. I used to swear by em, but I couldn't find the 52.5 in the size I needed, summit carries em, but they are usually on back order...until last week

Lets hope the gators will be worth a slight increase in boost and work even better than the NAPA 8rib I have on it now...all I know is this belt has rocked everytime I've given the car some hell.

I can't wait to see my 10's either....the engine is really feeling STRONG now that i've been able to put over 1000mi on it(its been in the car for a year ) Time to add synthetic, do some more tweeking on the suspension, and get some odds and ends tied up....
