[QUOTE="fishpick, post: 15616034, member: 182347"] The "new" belt has maybe 8 miles on it since I put it on after the other broke... rain rain rain here now... but it had a hundred-ish before it got put back on. Summary - kit had belt slip. Sean @ PBD said "not uncommon" try a shorter belt... so I order one and that helped but didn't fix it... talked to Whipple - they sent the new billet tensioner kit... installed all that jazz to spec per their instructions and had bought a second new belt - a Gates PRM "racing" belt... put that on - it broke in 10 miles... so - I then fixed it with the same length "shorter" belt I originally got to fix the slippage. We are talking 7/8" short over the length of the belt - that translates (with the stage 3 pulley) to about a 1/2 difference in the adjustable idler... kinda insignificant... I'm HOPING it will not rain around lunch time today and I can take the car out and exercise this belt a little bit more... Also gonna email that pic of the break to Gates and see what they say.
