Default What's your brand?

Current truck setup: 04 Silverado 5.3 P1sc w/ 8lbs boost Procharged.

Just wondering what everyones favorite belt brand is... also, reasons why. My Procharger kit came with a Bando belt (made in usa) and i wanted to get a spare to keep on hand. Gates? Gatorback? Dayco?

Also, my tuner wanted the Iridium NGK TR6IX plugs, they seem just fine so far. I wanted to get a spare set of plugs to keep on hand. So what are your thoughts for spark plugs? Also, what kind of mileage are you guys getting out of iridium plugs?
Thanks.

I like the gates HD green belts. I tried a gator back once and it lasted 2 passes. I did have it very tight though.

You'll never find iridium plugs in ride........

When you change your motor you'll be able to reuse your plugs.

I'm running a Gates and it has held up good. I started with a Gatorback, but it got shredded pretty quick!
