Gates now makes a belt in the right length. I was actually sent a gates belt from whipple when I ordered an extra one, but I got the dayco with my supercharger.
I saw someone getting the gates for $40 on M0dularfords.com, but can't remember the post.

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?

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.

That's the right pulley, but that belt sounds to long. I'd email them directly and ask what's the deal.

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.
