I tried 485 and 490 before that and they were both way too loose on my car. I think we have the same basic config and same front Stillen 20% UD crank, but my alternator pulley is swapped for NST's 10% OD one.

Yeah you would need an even smaller belt than me with that alternator pulley though I imagine only a touch.
I didn't think about getting a 6 rib.. doh.
There's that big of a difference between a 480 and a 483? It's only supposed to be a 3 tenths of an inch difference!
Do you have MFG part #'s for those belts? I'm not convinced that my belt is going to work long-term.
