Best none slippage serpentine belt - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

lionssfan · 03-21-2018, 08:36 AM

I want to upgrade my serpentine belt. I have the older tvs 2300 magnusion with a 3.6 pully and stage 3 cam. What is the best belt. Ive heard of a green belt by gates. Any others to consider. Best for no slippage. Anyone have a length or part number for my setup? Thanks

Do you have a gates belt on it now? If so, using that number, add rpm to it and you can use that to search...

Gates RPM belts are designed for racing and are very good.

No i dont i have the one from the supercharger kit.

Go with a gates RPM belt like stated above, they last long and the really take one hell of a beating

lionssfan · 03-21-2018, 03:01 PM

how did you find the right length belt.

Pro-tuned · 03-21-2018, 05:16 PM

The “green” belt is a commercial grade belt and works well as RPM. Often part numbers on belts are relative to length and no of ribs. If you can’t read the part number you can use a string and measure the distance. Finally and most often overlooked is proper belt adjustment ( it’s not what you think but what the mfg. suggests. For example Whipple has 2 different adjustments one for a 2010 and one for 2014. “follow mfg. recommendations”

Gates are like this:

K080675

08 is rib count

0675 is 67.5 inches (68" OC)

Then:

HD is heavy duty
RPM is racing belt

So, if I know the length, you can find the gates belt

I have:

K080675RPM for my LSA...

The HD belts are a bit stiffer rubber vs the RPM as the RPMs are a racing designed belt vs HD which are industrial in design...

HD and RPM run just a bit tighter...

There are some good videos on YouTube showing how to measure for a belt.

thanks for the understanding. Looks like the belt has to come off and measured. I was hoping someone might of experienced this already and had the correct belt number. So the RPM would be best for street car? 600 to 650 horsepower? I

Thanks tried to get ahold of magnuson today. and there never easy to get in contact right away. I tried to see if I could get a belt length from them. And thanks didn't know about the adjustment pulley recommendation

Ive shredded 2 8 rib green belts with a stock gm tensioner pulley. Just ordered this new pulley and looking for a stronger belt. Got 850hp

I talked to JRE about there tensioner. I don't need it until I go with a 3.4 pulley. Looks like a great tensioner however
