Default Guys with 6.0 and Whipple...what belt you running???

What drive belt do you run/size,brand,part number??? Reason I ask is,my belt is almost too long.I'm running the one whipple said to run but the tensioner is very close to hitting the stop,I'm afraid it could start to slip.Any suggestions??
This is on the single belt set up.

Thanks
Randy

I don't know about size, but the Good Year Gatorbacks are the way to go for brand.

i had that problem so i just took the belt down to the local parts store and asked for a shorter one, they had one about 1/2" shorter and 1 1/2" shorter so i got them both, cant remember which one i used though.

the funny part , when i went to sell the shipple i notice one of the top pullys are adjustable, you can move it back, it is mounted in a sloted hole. i had the 2 belt set up, not sure how the one belt set up works.

I think that's what i'll have do, run to auto zone or somthing and just go through some belts.
The single belt set up has an adjustable pulley a well, but it's allready moved as far as it can
go
