Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

The belts are direction al once you install them.Always put on where you can read the writing.You never flip one it wont last.
The stock belts are your best bet.

Also the clutches have to be aligned properly or you will wear the belt too quickly!
If you're not sure, have the dealer put it on and check it for you.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

This is not ussually an issue unless you have had the engine and/or the tranny out.
Most belt failures are from abuse like getting stuck,pulling or water.AKA smoking a belt
