Bob,
Did you use a night time belt with flourescent coating or just a plain
daytime rubber belt?
At 2:00 AM you should have used the night time flourescent coated
belt.
Hopefully you used the pulley expander and blower wheel strecher to
properly install it?
Dont forget to coat the vanes of the wheel with whale sperm. This will
produce better air flow.

Sorry Bob, I couldnt resist. There will be no change in blower cfm
unless the old belt was very stretched and loose and the new belt was
put on tight. Then you would get a slight increase in blower speed/cfm
due to the slippage of the old one.
