Alta 17% pulley

I am gonna order the Alta pulley from moss mini, but i was wondering if i should get the belt that they have for it for $25, or if i can just use my stock belt and i'll be fine?
is there even a difference?
thanx
-Matt

Note that Gatorbacks are louder than the stock belt...there's a clip somewhere around here. I'm not sure with the 17%, but I'm running a stock belt with my 16%. Gatorbacks are known to be one of the best belts, just make sure you don't mind the noise.

But the added noise has an intimidation factor - it is worth at least an extra 15 hp.

I have one and I don't find it that much louder to be honest.

Someone that I know (who doesn't know what mods have been done to my car) heard the noise from the Gatorback belt and asked if I had swaped out the M45 S/C. I didn't correct them, and so, now they think I have a M62 in the car.... I figure the virtual M62 is worth at least 15 hp!
