Default Short Belt

This next trip to the track I plan on running a short belt. I still have everything on my car, alt, smog pump, AC, water pump, power steering.. I need to know who is running just the alt, crank, water pump, and power steering, and what size belt do I need to run just those.

You can run a string around the path you want the belt to take and then just measure it and get that size belt from your autoparts store if no one here knows already.

Hey if you want to run your best...let your car cool first, then remove the belt and run that 1 run w/o the belt, then after the run shut the car off immeditaly, ford muscle did that on there project car and gained 3 tenths from just removing the belt completely...just rember to hook it up right after the run and let your car cool.

Sorry man I just realized that you said just alt, water, crank, and pwr st pump. My 770K runs the alt, water, crank, pwr str, and an A/C delete pully. Sorry for the bad info.
