belt compatability

[Teth-Air]

I am seeing that the 850 angle may be different again??

13 degrees instead of 13.5 degrees?? unless the 13.5 degrees was trail sleds??

Anyone able to confirm.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think when a belt stretches, you'll lose RPM even if it's not slipping at all. The reason being that a stretched belt will allow the primary to shift out farther and load the engine up more. So, if the old belt was more stretchy, then I could see the new one gaining RPM and performance. If that's not the case, then you're absolutely right: you're gaining some RPM, but losing performance because you're wasting HP on a slipping belt.
