Hi I just noticed a sound coming from the short belt, it does not seem to be cracked, but I am thinking on geting new ones just in case.

I wonder if anyone can suggest a high performance options?

I have Gates RPM on my Stratus turbo, but does not seem to find the part for the camaro.

Thanks in advance

Short belt as in the AC belt?

What kind of sound?

The '10s and '11s for some reason was bad for jumping a rib on a pulley and would make a noise until you pushed it back on.

AC Belt is a "stretch to fit belt" so probably not going to find a "performance" belt for the application. And if you do you will have trouble installing.
