belt carnage.. ATI belt length needed

[lcvette]

belt part number would be great or length... I got a wild hair and decided to check boost with my second boost gauge between the IC and the MAF on my setup and found a little over a pound difference so I decided to descreen the MAF and reassembled it for a test drive. As stated before on here I was suprised to see about a pound and a half of boost at the manifold gauge tipping it dead even with the 10 pound mark. air fuel leaned out a bit to 11.9-12.0 in the 4000-6000 rpm range telling me it was moving more air through the motor.. wow its amazing the difference a little more then a pound can make. and of course on my 3rd test at the top of third gear i felt a drastic drop in power and the battery light came on. nothing under the hood was hurt, but I am now a blower belt short of boost. I have gotten used to the boost on the motor and am amazed at how big of a difference the power is without it now. anyways, if anyone knows the length or part number of the belt ATI uses I would be much oblidged. Thanks, Chris

You can get belt at any auto parts stores. If I remember correctly my own blower belt is 97" long and I have used 95" belt. But the 95 model yrs may be slightly different due to the belt configuration on the
92/93 to 95/96

Are you sure that removing the screen isnt what leaned the car out? Everycar I have ever seen, blown or not leaned out quite a bit when the screen was removed. maybe try a 85mm screened maf?

The belt included in the ATI kit was a Gates Micro-V K060956 (13/16" X 96-1/8").
