I've been on a search for a belt that lasts... what manufacture of belt are you guys seeing any life out of?
FYI...i see about 35-50 out of blower drive services belts. Some cheap junk I used in a pinch from amazon lasted 25. the blower shop belt went for 85.

I use Jones Belts also. Over 250 runs, on a 192 blower. How tight are you running the belt?

Yup. Set it loose, warm the car up and adjust if needed. Then I’ll check after the first pass on the new belt and check it periodically when I jump out after a run.
Unfortunately jones doesn’t carry a belt length i can run with my setupThis message has been edited. Last edited by: I Hate Dragsters,
