Swapped on a 77.4" belt. I like where it put the tensioner. I might be able to run the 78" RPM belt when the time comes.

I keep seeing these green Gates belts lately. What's the story on them? I literally just put a fresh 776 on the old girl last Saturday. Wondering if I should go green...?

The Gates greeen belts are their heavy duty line mainly marketed towards commercial vehicles. Many people report longer life and less belt squeek on supercharged applications.

The newest craze is Gates "RPM" lineup. These are designed and marketed for cars with superchargers. The belts contain kevlar which reduces belt stretch, slipping and belt dust.

I've had mine for probably 8-9 years.

I’ve had decent luck with them too. I just replaced the interstate in my terminator for a BXT-59 last spring.

Awesome. I'll see how it is this year. I left it in the car again this winter on a battery tender. Minnesota winter in a non insulated garage and no heat.

I've been through 2 and on a third in 16+ years.
I never go with anything but.
I'm sure it's just a rebadged Interstate or something, but Motorcraft for me.

Same here. I need to better insulate my garage. It has an old ass furnace but when we bought the place the previous owner said it hadn’t been ran in years.

Cool. I keep mine on a tender 24/7. Can't do it with my fox since it stays at a storage unit.

Replaced my rats nest of tee fittings and splices with a nice Vibrant vacuum block. Much improved idle and overall performance, pretty sure I had a vac leak with the old setup. Orange hose was just for startup, replacing it with black rubber later.

Looks good. I'm running the fore vacuum tree.

Tested my GoPro. Never had one, I know it’s sad. After seeing the videos, spent some time on Amazon to get a few items for the GoPro to make it more useful. One being a wind slayer to reduce the noise.

Don’t feel bad. I’ve wanted one but have never owned one either.
