If anyone finds a fix for the fraying belts/teeth ripping clean off.. Please post it here!!
It could be that the tension is just sooooooo important and you must tension the belt perfectly.. not too loose, not too tight..

Well there has been several Vortech cogs that have shreaded lately . With the ATI I have heard that it is the bracket that flexes and rips the belts in the upper PSI levels . Then again it could be just the trq and stress put on them in the upper PSI level . Im running 20psi right now and as WOT runs to redline increase . I'll find out real quick if it can handle it .
Sharif has tried before with Trefling's car and the ATI . He should have a good idea on the problem .

Wow, i cant believe your seeing 20psi.. I wish i could hit that( I just dont see it as feasable with the ATI kit).. Do you have any dynos?? Sharif said that its hard to make power after 10psi on these sc applications.. I didnt know he had Trefling's car though.. I hope he can make me proud the next trip I make to forged on this last tune( BRINGING EXTRA BELTS
)..

Im thinking of trying wider belts.... That would require a wider tensioner pulley.. Ill see what ATI can do for me..
