Sak...come on man...really? Sounds like you need a break from CL...

I use the gates belts for my supercharger. Very good quality belts in my opinion for the cogged setup I'm running. I don't have any experience with the ribbed belts though.

Ive used the Gates Racing timing belts with great success. They're inexpensive, strong, and good looking.

Havent used their HOSES.

Thomas, i put alot of thought into this yesterday.i dont normally let anything bother me as im a fairly upbeat guy but for some reason this did. i dunno if its cause i actually respect your opinion or if i just dont want new people to think im a total jerk. yes while i am very blunt and most people typically chalk it up to me being a jerk im not. im actually very helpful....TONS of people can vouch for all the stuff i do behind the scenes for them.

i know you didnt know my intentions thomas but they werent bad i assure you. i made that post for 2 reasons....one to make humor about his repost as we all would do if someone had posted the same thing multiple times and to two to make light of it THUS bringing people into the post to help him. if you noticed for almost 3 hours noone responded to his post but shortly after i made a joke (i have dry humor ) several people came in here and answered his ? so no i dont mind playing the bad guy but keep in mind my intentions were good. i honestly do value our community and our extended brotherhood we share so OP if u thought i was being rude or we i apologize. i wasnt intending to be....welcome to the club man
