Belt Dust ????????

[svt03cobra10th]

I just installed the pulley and idlers last weeks, got decent numbers on the dyno, but I seem to have alot of belt dust. It is a gatorback belt. Is alot of dust normal after you first install a new belt. The alignment looks fine. Thanx in advance

Gatorbacks will produce more than normal dust for a few hundred miles. It should lessen over time. Mine did. My Gates belts did not produce near the dust that the Gatorback did, FYI.

would you guys recomend a gatorback on a nonslip pulley, my belt has wear marks on both ends were u can see the white threads, is this normal.....some belt dust but under 100 miles

I've been running a gatorback on SFPHQ 3.2 for about 1500 mi now and see no dust at all. That includes 3 dyno pulls too.

by the way sv03tcobra10th. im running a 2.80 w/ no idlers and dyno'd at 461hp and 481tq on the dynojet. i dont have the throttle body either, i think you should be a little higher than that?
