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.

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 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?

RE: Best Whipple HO Belt
Well I checked Napa, Orielly, and Auto Zone and none of them list them on thier sites. I will try in person this weekend.
Moose are you saying if they cant get the 124.7" belt I should be fine with the 125.25" belt for my emergency back up?

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

RE: Best Whipple HO Belt
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.

RE: Best Whipple HO Belt
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.
