What I found to be the cheapest thing to do was run 2-6 rib belts.

Check with Napa. I buy mine at a local auto parts store who carry gates belts. On my setup I use a 40" long belt, not 42. Using 2-6" belts sounds like a good idea. The main problem I have is the ati tensioner, it's a piece of crap.

Just go into your local autopart store and tell them you need a 42-inch 6 rib belt. I would also recommend going with a Goodyear Gatorback belt. :)

Have you looked into the SD Concepts spring loaded tensioner? If not the thing works flawless.

Yes, I know about Scott. I think I am going to sell the procharger, it's gear whine is too loud driving around the street and makes my car standout too much. It's okay on the freeway though. :)
My plans are either to get a Vortech V2, a Paxton Novi 2000, or a turbo. The superchargers are basically street legal, while the turbos are not. We'll see.
