Tooth belt drive pulleys

I know people says that pulleys are just for bling. I was trying to see if replacing all the pulleys with a tooth belt system work better than the current stock pulleys on the car now.

QFT

Cogged belt setups are for superchargers which require so much power that a normal belt would slip. Putting it on an NA car would make real car enthusiasts facepalm. Would be like a braking parachute on a stock Pruis.....

/\ He could mount a fake SC in there so at least it looks like the toothed belt is doing something - didn't think of that did ya !

they will be noisey, belt life reduced, belt expense increased. No need.
