Default Blower Belt instalation?

How hard is it to install the belt on a DISC procharger on a Corvette? Also wandering what could have caused the old belt to break. It only had maybe 100 miles on it and just 1 hard run. I had played around a little on the street and took it to the track and the belt just broke going into 3rd.
Thanks DG

Did you pin the crank? I just found out the hard way my self last night that you need it done. Also make sure all the pulleys line up. Any help you need call Bob he is the most helpful person you could possibly call.

The blower belt should last for several years, so something is terribly wrong here.

This Corvette is being run on a road course every week with no belt problems at all.
I'd say the belt alignment would be the first thing to look at. Bob
