If you don't find an RPM for it get the Gates K080560HD. Those are still available.

how do those compare ?

the problem i had with the standard micro-V is they seem to work fine, but then with boost they stretch out and slip (kPa vs. RPM goes flat)

the RPM belts dont seem to do that

Of course that was my old p600b blower with a 2.75” 8 rib slotted pulley, ridiculous amount of wrap and so tigght that you had to crank the ignition key to get it on

thats what gave me a bad taste for the micro-v belts and the RPM belts didnt do that.

so im hoping the HD belts dont stretch and slip like the micro-V belts do under boost

(im now on an f1-a-94, so hopefully a different animal. But the p600b blower and 2.75”
pulleys is where the bad taste started on the std micro-V belts

The HD belts won't stretch like the standard belts can. You should be fine on the HD over the standard belt.
