I have a 4# lower pulley with the stock belt. Is it worth to upgrade to the Gatorback belt? What are the advantages and diadvantages? I have heard of some people having problems with this belt. Some say that instead of minimizing belt slip, it increases it. What are your thoughts?

 

No belt slip here, quit, all around I like it and think it is worth it!!!

 

Get one!!!

 

I have a 4080675 with a 4 pound lower and I still get a little screech now and then. I'm sure it's better than the stock one and besides, the stocker had 16k on it so what did I have to lose. Might want to talk to Sal at PSP. He mentioned something about a certain type of Gates(?) belts.

 

Mine doesn't slip--it's worth it--peaxce of mind if nothing else.

Do it. Mine made an unbelieveable difference.

 

ANYTHING with the word GATOR in it.........is worth mega-bucks
IMHO

 

HEHEEH except the FLorida Gators....LMAO!!!

 

Dr, my gatorback slips less than the gates,but don't be so sure that the screetch is coming from your blower belt.
Tonight i drove to the strip without the blower belt and was getting that same screetch you speek of from my drive belt on decleration.

 

how much?

 

I just paid around 36.00 for one at a local parts store the other day.

 

Well you have to replace the stock belt at some point ...

... which reminds me, thats what I forgot to get the last time I was at JDM's

 

JDM doesn't stock the GATORback belts, I asked last time I was there

Your right Chris, maybe next year GO Canes
