slightly smaller pulley with a smaller belt will help keep the angles setup properly - although, the best method is to go with the belt-wrap kit if you want to ensure you don't lose any power to belt slippage

IMHO I have more surface area on my belt in comparison to the other belt - not sure what size that one was - see the angle difference?
rchase - what size belt was that one?

It was the 496.... I had it swapped out for the 505.
it's better to have more surface area - check the pics in post #72

505??? That is to small, you must be missing the belt wrap kit

So is stock Gates K080510HD or Gates K080505HD?
(i.e., stock crank pulley/stock SC pulley/no belt wrap kit)
Toad - Your thread says:
Gates K080505HD V-Belt - close to OEM size $25
Want to confirm before I order, thanks!

I have stock pulleys and I think I'm going with a 510. My logic is that the longer belt will allow more belt surface area to be in contact with the SC pulley.
Could be totally wrong though and maybe the higher tension of the shorter 505 belt is better.
Anybody want to chime in?

I used the 17mm ranch to open the tensioner as far to the left as I could. It was still pretty tight. Of course I'm comparing this to the stock belt size. It still won't take more than a few minutes either way.

just to re-clarify
OEM size is 51 inches for the S/C belt
belt length is the last 3 digits - so OEM would be a 510 belt (or 51.0")
a shorter belt may be beneficial when using the S/C pulley as it's smaller - so this thread talks about the 505 belt which is 50.5" (so 1/2 inch shorter)
the 496 belt is 49.6" (duh) so it's about 1.4" shorter than the OEM belt
hope this helps!
