Listen to others. Traction needs surface area, with Gates gator back you have less surface area so less traction.
Try Gates’ RPM belt, also the longer the better as theory goes since you can wrap it around the pulley more.
Oh and I only started to see good amount of slip at 3.2” and 3.0” pulleys. 3.4” was a dream. I’d say stick to 3.4” as safest belt for 6rib platforms.

I did not. I went turbo back a long time ago. (so yeah, it's been a whole lot of time) so probably by now they have other good belts too. I've turboed my car after that. Back then the Gator was the better option for me. yes, less surface as it has individual teeth but these teeth bite into the pulley. Well, it did for me so can't speak for anyone else..

Yes current set up yields 17-18psi with the crank 6.0 supercharger 3.4, and the appropriate sized gates green back belt, with no slipping issues to date (drove it last night to make sure). Earlier I said smaller belt because I had a guy not receiving his full boost per the pulley he had, the issue ended up being his tensioner was maxed out and the belt he had was too long. Easy fix. The ASP pulley I'm ordering today will be the 6.75 one set to yield 21-23/24psi on e85.

I will be sticking with the 3.4 for now, reving to 8500 rpm with a Novi 1200 with ceramic bearings
