Gates green or Gates RPM
The gates green belt I ordered is 1845mm. (72 5/8)in, would I be able to use gates RPM belt that is 1831mm (72 1/8in)? I'm assuming yes, just have to make sure it's not tightened up all the way since these belts from what ive read have no stretch in them.

I'm running the RPM belt on my Whipple and sized it so it is a real pain to install. There is no stretch from the tensioner.

I've had an RPM on my ZL1 with a 2.4 upper for 20K miles, no issues and no slip.
I hate the green belts, ugly AF

Apparently the RMP belts are discontinued. So whatever is left out there in circulation, is what ever that's left.
