Default belt slip, again

Well, I bought the MM's crank pulley RR ultra grip pulley,
trying to get 12psi -- it worked for 2 week's, but I only drive the car on Saturday night's. Needless to say, I'm sick of the slip . I did a search and came up with this http://www.rpmoutlet.com/fbodyaspcog.htm

Any word on if this work's or not?

Have you tried a gatorback belt with the rr pulley?
I use the goodyear gatorback belt and rr pulley on my vortech and have no slipping issues.

I've heard that the vortech doesn't have belt slip problems.And I have used the gatorback
and it still slipped.

Sell it.You'll go crazy trying to remedy the poor bracket design.Everyone I know making decent power has never-ending belt problems.I have been telling everyone since I registered here that the ATI bracket sucks and never works when making power.A new pulley or different belts don't help either.I found this out a year and a half ago.I got rid of mine.

I can vouch for having no belt slippage issues whatsoever.
The only drawback to the V9 G-trim kit is its max airflow of roughly 800cfm, which translates to 575 RWHP. That should be plenty for consistent mid to high 10's in the quarter, but if you want more power, you'll either need to add nitrous and/or a bigger head unit (e.g. T-trim).

The Vortech kits seem to have no problems...

I had a custom bracket made for my D-1SC, that solved the bracket flexing issue, but now we are back to square one trying to figure out why the blower belt blows off after one dyno run....

Going to shim the pulley and check the alingment and keep trying..

I want to have a fast blower car, but let me tell you, its been one HELL of a road trying to get it right...
