I also would like to point out that even though you have a 6 rib belt vs. 7 you are still getting like 85% more grip.

6 ribs vs 7 = 15% less.... 2" of wrap vs now 4" = 100% more. 85/100 = 85% more grip!!

Do you plan on doing any tests to see how much psi you gain from it? Did you have a solid baseline before the install? It wouldnt be too hard to throw the old belt on and just bypass this if you didnt.
Just finished up digging through the Gates belt sizes and found a 8 rib belt that will work with the additional idler pulley that Pauly Z is using. Now to figure out how to remove one rib so that it matches the 7 rib serpentine. The 8 rib is K081088. I wonder what the minimum order to have a custom made belt is. I'm pretty sure that they make these as drums and simply slice them to the correct width. The printed label kind of gives that away.

Does anyone know what size idler pulley he used? What about using the SC idler pulley? Its off now because I went to a larger idler because of the smaller SC pulley.
