I could use a hair shorter belt too, but been have great luck with Dayco poly cog.
So you understand! Yeah, like after I wash the bike or clean the air-filter

I did go into boost a lot yesterday during the 3hr drive, hitting 6000+ rpm a few times. I checked the belt this morning, looking good. I'll keep my eye on it.

My truck always seems to run better after a car wash and fresh air freshener

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this phenomenon.

I have used the Gatorback for well over 100K miles and never had any problems - albeit I'm not supercharged either.

I only ran the Gatorbacks with my old Radix set-up. Never an issue.

I shredded two gatorbacks this past summer inside the same month on a 3.0 pulley. Went back to Gates which I have never had a problem with.
