Is that slipping with a gatorback? The gatorback cured mine from slipping. Where does your belt tensioner sit in it's range of travel? Is it in the middle of the range or is there just barely any travel?

No help to your question. Sorry. How do you know when your belt is slipping?

You'll know it's slipping because the boost reading on your guage will vary.... my needle bounced when it was at peak boost. I also found black "dust" around my pulleys that was from the belt. The gatorback belt stopped it from slipping in my case.
