Gates 7565.  It's cogged.  I've always run that belt and have never thrown
one.  Current one has 20,000+ miles including autocrossing and 6,000 rpm
shifts up and down with stock pulleys (adjusted slightly loose).  I've gotten
over 50,000 miles out of one.  I once tried the belt that the Gates book
actually calls for (I forget the #) and it wouldn't stay on.  It's not cogged,
and it's wider.  The 7565 sits down in the stock grooves nicely.
