Whinning

i just did some 2nd gear donuts because i have only done it 1 other time and it always fun...when i was done i noticed a bit of a whine when i reved it up to about 2k....i havent checked it after it cooled down though.it sounds like a belt but it has had a new belt put on here recently and still looks good..ANY IDEAS????? thanks

I did the same thing in my S10 "daily driver". We were having a party one night and I started doing donuts in this field. My power steering never worked again
