Just an FYI on belt size: they managed to use a K080710HD on my 10.5" lower with the LPE relocation bracket (stock upper), but it's fucking snug. That's a 71.5" belt.
In reality, the K080716HD (72 1/8") should be a perfect fit and install easier. That will be tested tomorrow when we replace a bad A/C belt.
I used the LPE bracket instead of the metco because it reuses the larger OEM pullies (no metco idlers), results in slower idler speed for longevity and winds up saving around $70. Staying with the OEM upper saves another $200 and helps with belt wrap.
It's only 20 degrees - but yeah, lots of fun! Lol. I am not comfortable yet with the car and the issues (but they're getting taken care of), but first impression is that I haven't had the road to get past half-throttle in 3rd gear and thing thing hits like an 8 lb hammer!
Recommended belt below (since LPE will not list it or help you if you call them since they don't offer the 10.5 combo).

It's amazing how much difference ~120 HP
can make in how a car feels. Seeing that boost gauge
peg is awesome!
