Whipple Folks, I need some help!!
 
Hello All! I am getting ready to turn the boost up on my Camaro :biggrin:
To accomplish that, I have ordered the following items:

- Innovators West 10-rib conversion kit, 10% OD Damper
- 3.25" Grip-Tec Whipple pulley

What I don't have, or know, is the correct belt length. I believe the original belt that came with the kit was a 96".

Just doing some comparison math, looks to be only about 3/8" difference in circumference between the two setups.

Can anybody offer any corroboration or contrary evidence?

Thanks!

I have a similar setup but running 8 rib. My belt is K080956HD. So my guess you should be about the size just 10 rib

Belt size
 
What belt did you end up using? K080956 but in the 10 rib? Thanks

To help understand the number system used on the serpentine belts, I used to work at an auto parts warehouse years ago and sold the gates brand of belts which used the above mentioned number system "K080956".
the "08" stands for the number of ribs, and the "0956" meant 95.6" long. Going by that, the 10 rib, if it is made, would be K100956 or they might have another length fairly close to that to use.

Just so this is out there, I ended up with a Gates K100953.
