[QUOTE="Jam421, post: 16246009, member: 110985"] Small upper pulleys can create slippage which can sometimes be seen on a boost gauge & certainly on a dyno. Years back there were threads about quick revving, deep geared GT500's having alternator issues due to the instant RPM surge at WOT stabs. Not sure if you're on the stock 331's but I'd guess hard stabs + gears can still cause some belt slippage. What stopped mine from slipping was a Metco Belt tensioner (Aux Idler?) wrapping around 2/3-3/4 of my 2.4 upper. I might get flamed for this o_O...but I apply CRC belt conditioner 3-4X each season. My SC whine is louder at WOT after the CRC is applied. But over time I still do see some black soot although way less than years back. Yesterday, I wiped a bit off with metal polish applied the CRC Conditioner then put 100 miles on it including some low roll & highway WOT stabs. The SC is still pretty clean. Can your get a belt tensioner that gives you a better wrap up top as suggested by lexustech48 ? [/QUOTE]
