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.
