[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16338518, member: 184279"] Interesting problem. My first suspect would be pulley alignments. I would look even closer than you have, you say you found some mis-alignment already. There may be more. My other thoughts would be to see if one of the pulleys might have a nick or sharp edge or some sort of damage somewhere on it, cutting the belt as it rotates. Another idea is maybe one of the pulleys (or maybe the belt) has incorrect/incompatible ribs. All the pulleys and the belt would need to have the exact same rib pattern, or else pretty much instant destruction. One final idea is perhaps something that the belt drives (alternator, water pump, A/c compressor, tensioner) is partially frozen. So (with belt off) make sure each and every pulley rotates easily by hand and smooth as butter. Should be a relatively easy fix, once you find the problem. Lots of us running S/C at high rpm and we aren't eating belts. Keep us posted please. I'd like to hear what it is when you figure it out (which you will)! [/QUOTE]
