1st the WP pulley came off
2nd Welded it on
3rd Broke the weld and a few other things
4th Tension er spring broke
5th. Purchased All new Pulleys and started over.
6th. New Power steering pulley developed a fracture and left the vehicle at a high rate of speed.
7th. New Alt pulley wasn't machined properly and wobbled. Not bad at idle but would throw a 8 rib belt. Replaced it with the old pulley.
8th. Belts kept coming off on decel, not ever time but even a couple of times is to much. SuperSub offered a solution that worked and allowed me to make a 1/4 mile Gtech blast w/o the belt coming off.
I was running a 1900 at 12psi and didn't have any IAT or belt issues. The IAT problem is probably something simple like a bubble or possible a kinked line from one of the belt issues. I'll get it all ironed out.. then I'll consider selling it and going back a car project.
I went out in the garage and looked at my truck and discovered my high IAT problem. It appears to be airflow related.

I'd also have to call BS on the lag for at least the one's I've driven or ridden in around here.

Gotta love the title of the thread 
I think you are experiencing the highest IAT's I have ever heard of. I would suggest looking for some issues with the intercooler system, I have seen the intercoolers get air in the system and not work at all.
That being said, I would not expect them to be much higher than 50 over ambient and they should come immediately down after a pull.
have you inspected the IAT sensor connection? Hell even Zippy would admit that is high for this set up.

It should move along pretty good once it's dialed in with more timing and lower IAT's
I did gTech the run, but had traction problems because it's pretty cool up here in MN

Finally got the belt issues figured out and was able to stand on it without the belt coming off or apart.
Makes a bunch of boost but it isn't that fast. I actually liked the 1900 better. So 20lbs with 15 degrees of timing should be fast right. Mid elevens on my GTech on the single run I used it for. I think that's slow for this setup.
Wish I would have kept the 1900 and just squeezed a 100 shot on it. Would have had a 10 second truck without all of the b.s. the 2300 has been. To get this setup into the 10's I feel like I'll need a 30% downhill grade.. I should be happy that I didn't loose another belt and/or pulley today I guess.
If anyone is interested I'm thinking of ditching the 2300 and going to a centri. All offers considered

but if your hellbent on keeping the heat factory, i'd suggest getting rid of your chambered mufflers and adding 2 3" single in/ single out magnaflows..

You had the upgraded tensioner already
You didnt have the support barcket for the back of it to the head.
That causes a flex in the tensioner bracket.
The flex takes out the belt and has a tendency to rip off or fracture pulley's when it gets behind them.
Please feel free to call me with questions, I am here to support the products we sell. I hate to hear that you had that many problems when it should have been an easy install and run.

There is a shop close to me that does a lot of them on Corvette's without issues. A couple are in the 800+rwhp area and have been problem free. I'm thinking of picking up a C6 if the right deal comes along.
I'd also have to call BS on the lag for at least the one's I've driven or ridden in around here.

Find the issue with you blower, or sell it a buy a turbo....

Centrifugal are just like any other FI. They have there weak points. If you have a light car, that needs super smooth road course power delivery, and ultra high rpm power, then yea, a centrifugal is a good choice.... In a 5000+ pound drag truck..... not so much.....
