I bought an rpm belt also... that snapped not even 5 min into my drive. I know the belt have different belt tension tolerances. The regular belt need 90% tension, the green 65-75% and the rpm in the 50-% tension since they don't have any give. The rpm belts are nice, and very stiff, but damn they're expensive. I'm going the cheapest route for now. I snagged 3 regular belts on eBay for 50$
