just go with OEM honda, no need for the other.

i've seen plenty of friends cars that are boosted with OEM and no problems. my old boss ran close to 40psi of boost with a OEM belt on a built motor that he drag raced. save the money, and go with OEM.

I'm curious about the goodyear 'gatorback' t-belts, abyone have experience with those? One reason I'm looking at them is because they are HALF the price of a discounted OEM belt, and they're made by a very reputable company.
