Just acquiring opinions on Belt kits to see which one is the best. was looking at March Perfomance (high end) or GM Performance parts(low end) Thanks.

Myself I would go with the high end march set-up but I have seen some g.m. set-up's detailed out and looked every bit as nice as the march set-up...

I got the brackets off ebay from a 95 Silverado, I am hoping to polish it all up. I think it looks better than the aftermarket. March setups don't look as compact as the factory ones. I think they stick out too much from the motor. ust my opinion though. The GM performance kit is nice, but man, is that expensive. It's the kit from a TPI engine. I asked them once about it.

Those ones have a very long belt. I would be afraid of vibration. There is a long distance between pulleys and no idler or tensioner. High RPM might make it jump right off. But still, a very good price. Although, it's not the most attractive.

Not that high mount streetrod crap.
The bottom of page set-up. Has an idler and a tensioner.
