Do you have phenolic spacers installed? If so, the 514 belt is probably too tight and you will need to go with the belt ending in 525. But yes, a brand new belt should not shred that soon.

You using a eurocharged pulley. Is it the bolted or welded design.

I don't have spacers actually. So I wonder what the cause for the shredding was. O no.... There was a radiator clamp that had a piece of the belt hanging on to it but I don't know if that's what caused it. Vlad told me it was just the belt tensioner. Is this an easy fix?

I was also thinking of getting a back up Jaguar SC belt because I searched and some member datalogged and got .5 more boost from the belt alone.

In my opinion, HP is the most overrated stat. Don't get me wrong, HP is important, but give me a car with a ton of TQ and above average HP (rather than the other way around) and I will be VERY VERY HAPPY !!!!

Going to the track tomorrow actually. Don't know what to expect because this is my first time going. Should I launch with TSC off or on? Hmm

Try both, I've had better results with it off. Either way you won't be able to launch it hard unless you're on drag radials. Good luck!

I know what you mean. I'd honestly rather have a car with more torque than horsepower also.

Just like to thank Vlad and Jerry for making things right with my car. The car is an absolute BEAST and the new design for the EC pulley is awesome. The car feels faster now that the pulley is .5 lb lighter than the older design. I stunned literally stunned. Now time for throttle body and "Wiseman" exhaust!!!

Kickdown in auto mode is my favorite. Car lifts up in the front.
