It is true that the Goodyear Gatorback 4080745 SC Belt will fit the 2.93" & 2.80" SC Pulleys for the 03 Cobra. However here is the comparison that everyone needs to know about, when purchasing a Supercharger Belt for their own application. Gatorback wins, "Hands Down" Hope this helps.

I agree with WYD_TRKR 100%

I put a Gates on my Lightning because the OEM was slipping at shifts and it was fine for about 1000 miles and then the Gates stretched and I was back to the same problem.

I installed a Goodyear Gatorback and put another 10,000 miles on it with minimal slippage. I highly recommend this belt, as will other Lightning owners.

XSTANG, I certainly wasn't discounting your opinions, just relaying my one experience with my L. :beer:

I personally think going to a 74 inch belt is the thing to do, I have the 74.5 and it slips in the upper rpm's and under the N.O.S.:D
