P.S.- WTH is that in the box? Shop heater?
Looks good in there. One of the "crew" looks like he has a face mask on. Camera shy??Brought it to the official (bi)annual technical inspection. No issues found, passed without remarks.

Seems like that. I blurred it out because they take privacy topics quite seriously here and I don't have the guy's approval to take picture of him and post it.Looks good in there. One of the "crew" looks like he has a face mask on. Camera shy??
looks sharp!Swapped the XL grille out for a Lariat Sport version! Skimmed through a YouTube video and it took about 35-40 minutes.

Washing machine!

What's your opinion on belt type I should use?
For years I have run Goodyear Gatorback, Continental, and Gates Fleet (Green) belts.
My recent track outing was with the Gatorback belt. I shredded a belt and destroyed the upper supercharger pulley.
Most likely I'm over-spinning the VMP at 26# boost.
I've already got a new upper pulley for the VMP - went from 2.7 to a 2.9 to slow it down some.
I also have a 4# lower I can install and remove the 6# to slow it down more if necessary.
I'm curious if you guys thing the Gatorback may be a problem and if the Continental or Gates belt might do better?

“Pimp excess”- is that when a pimp wears too many gold chains and/or drives a convertible Cadillac Eldorado with fur-lined interior?! Old Sokol, baby! Flashback to the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry movies! ROFLMFAOSomething about the name of that ECU just makes me laugh!
At the shop I was in, we always used the HD green belts. I don’t know what’s different, but they seemed to hold up the best against belt slip especially when turning a heavy rotor roots blower.What's your opinion on belt type I should use?
