Well, I'm pretty sure I've never put the peddle on the floor..... Maybe once on a closed track somewhere here in texas. Anyway I'm happy with the outcome and am just trying give options to the Shelby SGT/SC Freaks in here some opitions. ;)

There is another thread somewhere where a heavy duty 7 rib belt gets 1 rib cut off and works fine. I got one and have it laying in the trunk just in case. Anyone remember the specs on this one? I got the upgraded Shelby tensioner also. TASCA did my install. Very nice job! As they say about Jamaica "Once you go you know". You cannot imagine the power increase.

Found the belt info - Gates K071247HD
