You have to remove the bolt that the belt will rub on <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I own a 02' Z28 and I had to remove the lower alternator bolt. It was very obvious as to which bolt needed to be removed. The belt was just sitting on the bolt.
As for the et.? I tried forever and a freakin' day to get into the 12's. I was running a 13.0 to a 13.1 constantly. A buddy of mine at the track ran a short belt and he let me borrow it. We swapped them in the pits, and what do you know? I ran my best of a 12.9 at 110 mph. Gained a tenth and 1 mph. But still had a horrible 2.1 60 ft. time. Hey, atleast I can say I have a 12 sec. car now! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
It was one of my favorite mods! Definately worth it. So simple and cheap.
