Proper Belt Size Needed for New Kenne Bell

I plan to run the Reichard Racing 3.25 upper and a Johnny Lightning 3 pound lower. Can someone kindly tell me what length Gatorback belt I'll need?!

Thanks in Advance,

He he. Might have to have you do the built lower, Jeff.
I can't say how much I enjoy this vehicle, how fun the modification process has been, and the corresponding results of the mods themselves. What a wonderful vehicle! This forum has been extremely responsive and informative. I just want an 11 second timeslip with my name attached to it. It may not be this year, but I'm focused and persistent. We'll see!

Thanks for the response, Don. It's no wonder you have such a high post count. One day I'll be able to offer sound advice as well!

Not sure how you are using the 680 belt with that combo unless you have the tab broken off.

Also the Gates belts are known to shread using the Reichard Racing pulleys.

We sell the Gaterback belts. Our suggestion for the 3# lower and a 3.25 upper would be 4080680 and a 4080685 when using the Metco Idler setup (soon to be released)!

Yes I have the tab broken off

I have been running this belt since I installed the KB blower. It has over 6000 miles with the Reichard pulley and I haven't had any problems. I have driven it to virginia and Ohio and made a bunch of 1/4 mile runs. There is no signs of wear on the belt at all. It even survived the electric water pump pulley coming off and getting in contact with the supercharger belt.
