**Disclaimer** they don't make a 7 rib belt in this size. They go up to roughly 107" then jump to 113". I tried both. They didn't work. 6 rib belts come in any size. So that's what I'm using for now. It works just fine minus the 1 rib and have more traction with the extra pulley. You just have to be extremely careful to make sure the belt is riding on the same ribs of every pulley.

Check out Gates Serpentine High Performance Belts...

"Gates Serpentine Belt-racing Micro-v High Performance V-ribbed Belt "

Their belt design has a shallower rib so it doesn't bottom out on the valley of the pulley [substantially minimizing/eliminating belt slip at that point] but rides on the side walls of the V for more efficient belt/pulley contact surface


http://www.gatesracing.com/

I think they are available in a number of lengths and # of ribs, but you'll have to contact them via their on-line 'Contact Us' form to find out for you application.

You can always [carefully] trim down to the max # ribs your pulley is designed for with a sharp box cutter.
You've gone this far - that extra rib just might do you righteous.

By the way ... real nice install :-)

This is the Gates belt chart for the dimensions we need. They don't have the length that is required. I appreciate the help though. I'm still looking.

PaulyZ, did that new pulley increase the "whine"? I just watched your youtube video and it sounded like it.

As I am patiently waiting for my air to air kit to ship out my slave cylinder decided to go out yesterday... most excellent ted. So I bought the z1 elimination kit, although I am not too confident on pulling the tranny out so I get to wait a few more weeks before the mechanic can get to it... then it's air time!

The pulley didn't increase the whine, just traction. You can hear more whine due to the filter that is directly on the blower.

Is this part of the a2a kit or did you eliminate the piping and install intake on the blower yourself?

He used the intake/filter from the A2A kit.

The highlighted one is the stock supercharger serpentine belt size.

I'd still contact them with your specs and see what they can do for you...
Ask them about the Racing Belts - they might be different from the stock sizes.
Can't hurt but sure might help ...
Have FUN with your 'NEW' Car :-)
