The 2650s are great blowers but suffer from the same belt issues once you really start to push them. I eventually went twins and never looked back although I will be redoing my turbo kit at some point with better manifolds with better gate priority and moving the turbos up front so it's easier to work on.

That's my issue. I still want to rev to a minimum of 8000rpm and don't really want to deal with belt issues. I have friends that swear this and that about their centri cars but are still always throwing belts and they are only revving to 7000.
