You shouldn't have any problems with the eight rib belt at boost levels less than 12 psi. The belt needs to be kept tight, a new belt will stretch after approx 1/2 hr of use, and will need retightened. I tell people to keep the belt about as tight as you would, if you were going to strum it like a guitar. I have seen no ill effects from doing this over the years. Bob

Even with the 8 rib kit i was dropping 5 pounds of boost at 4500 rpm, what i found was the tensioner pulley was rubbing against the bracket

i drilled out a washer to fit on the bracket side of the pulley and ground it down so that the belt didn't rub against the edge of the tensioner pulley, I also got a blower pulley from Reichard Racing, between the two i am seeing zero belt slip.
