Kevlar Supercharger Belts
I've been in touch with Gates Belt Co. and they can make a much better and stronger belt made out of kevlar and a stonger rubber compound. They will be practically indestuctible! They have to call me back with the details and the minimum number of belts in an order.
We have a real problem because we must remove our SC to replace the belt and it's a real expensive pain in the ***!! If you're out on the freeway or on a trip and your belt shreds, you're screwed. I think this would be a very important item to develop! The minimum order is anywhere between 30-50 belts and they will cost 35-40% more than the regular ones.
I won't do this unless I get a group together, please let me hear if there is any interest out there. Please, no flames or other spam, this is serious business for those with superchargers, especially the ones with upgraded boost. From what I understand, if your cheapo plastic pulleys melt, the belt will stay intact!
