I just installed my 4lb lower & 4 piece Billet Flow idler set with my Posi Ported Eaton and 2.93 upper. Here is a video of the sound I'm getting from the belt..

that does NOT sound normal to me. it almost sounded like a loud ass saw of some type.
not sure what is making that noise. with my setup, i dont have a port, or a lower...just a 2.8 upper, JLT RAI, steeda cat-back, and tune...maybe that has something to do with it/the way it sounds (the port and the lower)? not sure. but...i DO know that mine doesnt sound anything like that, and to me, that does not sound normal.

The belt that I'm running is a Gates Micro V-AT K080785 it came with the Posi. Looks to be like new but maybe I need another belt? I haven't installed the Alt pulley yet but I have a 3.5 to go on. I did try the water trick this morning and it's the belt making the noise.
I can say that the 4lb lower changed the attitude of my Terminator :) She's a tade rude :coolman:

I just need to figure out the best belt for our cars and get a new one!

that was my reason for switching from gates to gatorback belts, is b/c my (brand new) gates belt was noisy. it didnt sound anything like that tho. it was more of a constant chirping/squeel noise.

That's not too bad, mine was screaming non-stop very loud. Sprayed the piss out of it with belt dressing ie. "neoprene". After it dried, the next morning - silence. Been good for a week now. It's a Gates, heard the Gatorbacks are more quiet, ordered one but haven't needed it.

Check this too..
