I'm looking for a redundant pulley/belt system for my 13b.  I figure that
two belts are better then one.  Racing beat makes a dual main($62) and
alternator pulley ($42), are there makes or better buys out there??

Racing beat tells me that their pulley system brings down the water pump and
alternator RPM down by 20% to prevent water pump cavitation.  Has anyone run
into water pump cavitation problems at 6000+ rpm?


No it happens at 7500 to 8500 RPM. If you are running a 2:1 PSRU run the stock
pulleys.
