copy and paste, change the 0 to an o, you know the drill.
They don't actually say where to get it, but that it should cost $30-$40. You can try Napa and ask them to order it. Let me know how much they want for one.
I have the gates on the car and the dayco in the trunk as a spare.
They just built and Auto Zone right by my house. I will stop there this weekend and see if they can order me one. I will let you know what they charge.

The belt that whipple sent me is 125.25"
Is this too long? I've never heard of anyone running a belt longer than 124.7" with the whipple, but my belt came direct from whipple, so I would hope they didn't make a mistake...
BTW, my supercharger pulley is 3.375 inches. Is that what typically comes with the H.O?
Thats weird, their site only lists 2 possible belts, 124.7 and 122.7. And I am pretty sure 3.375 is right on for 10 psi just most people round it to 3.4.
As long as you arent getting any slip, I would think it is fine.
The 125.25 belt is made by dayco? That wouldn't be a problem with the 3.6 pulley, but it might slip with the 3.375 pulley. I have rounded the pulley to 3.4 before. The saleen pulley might actually be 3.4 inches.

That's the right pulley, but that belt sounds to long. I'd email them directly and ask what's the deal.
I'll give them a call when they open today. Also the 125.25"belt they sent me is made by Gates. (Part#K061247/6PK3169)
I just spoke to Mike at whipple superchargers. He verified that the 125.25" belt is correct for the 10psi whipple. According to him, Gates measures the outside circumference of their belts, so a 125.25" belt from Gates is actually a 124.7" belt. Apparantly, all of whipples HO kits will be shipped with the Gates belt now, and they will be recommending Gates for anyone replacing a belt as well. So, to answer the OP's question, I suppose Gates would be the best choice.

Alright now I just need to know where I buy one. My google search turned up nothing except HCM. I would rather pay in the $40 range if possible as apposed to $90. It is just so I can have a spare.
If anyone has a link to where to buy one at a good price it would be appreciated.

You'll probably have to go into a autoparts store in person and ask them to call gates. Just give them the part number and ask them how much it will be. I know napa stocks a lot of gates products, but probably not this one as it's so new.

RE: Best Whipple HO Belt
The saleen pulley might actually be 3.4 inches.
