I had problems with both around 950 rwhp. Well I don't really think it was a problem with either of their setups, I feel with an F1R and an 8 rib belt I was exceeding the capability of the 8 rib belt and it would break. I never tried a 10 or 12 rib belt. I went with a cog setup and no more belt problems.

I thought Bob@brutespeed had posted an incident that a guy was overspinning one of the F series blowers and caused the impeller to expand and get jammed in the housing which then caused the motor to stop. Think about that. The blower stopped spinning, which stopped the belt from spinning, which stopped the motor. No belt slip there.
Not sure about breaking the belts though.
