I am going to replace my drive belts soon, and I need to know which brand to go with. I was going to go with a set of gaterbacks, but I want to go with the best. What are you guys running? Any pros/cons?

Thanks

i am runnign goodyear gatorback and i have not had any problems with it. It is designed to push out heat witht he cross grooves, i do not know how effective it is.

I have always used gates belts.

I have had two sets of Gatorbacks, when I took of the set off my stock pulley after around 15K they looked brand new.

So there is Gates, Gatorback and OEM? or does OEM fall under one of the aforementioned?

I replaced the gates belt on my SC and haven't had any trouble since! I don't know if you can call one better than the other, I think it's the particular application. What has been others experience with the 2 branded belts on their superchargers??

a lot of times OEM ones are made by someone like gates.

VW belts are made by either gates or champion

ID say oem is just as well! DOnT go with any parts house belts they are not made of ****. Iv learned this with a advanced auto timing belt **** popped after 10k

Go w/ OEM. I replaced the original belts on my Max at 106K

I like my gatorbacks very well.

I don't think you can miss with a belt unless it's the aforementioned timing belt but hey we don't have one. I've only used gates or delco good results with both.
