I see you switched back and forth on Dayco and Gates belts. Do you like anyone in particular vs the other? Ever try Goodyear Gatorbacak belts? Nice write up btw.

I really like the Dayco Poly Cog belt, the Dayco grips way better then the Gates. I have not tried the Gatorback since the 8 rib conversion and 122HH.

Give the Goodyear Gatorback a try next time, I'm sure you'll like them even better. Thanks for the feedback.

Here are some pictures from today. I am completely exhausted today. I was up late re-polishing the wheels after the place that mounted the tires got done with them. They look like chrome now thanks to the Mothers Power *****! I also installed a set of the black bowties on the wheel center caps to break up the polish a little and tie things together.

I will need to dial in the rear tire pressure and QA1 shock to get better weight transfer and traction. I started high on the pressure and will work my way down until it hooks hard on the street. It hooks and throws you in the seat hard but it is still breaking traction the way it is now. More to come!
