Default belt slippage

Just upped the boost to 8.5 now I am getting belt slippage at shifts even just cruising around. What are you guys doing for this?

1st get yourself a Gatorback Belt the order two Metco Pulleys like these: http://www.metcomotorsports.com/ford_mip-90_cobra.html
that oughta cure the problem. Even just the belt is gonna stop alot of it. good luck..

The belts that worked best for me were Dayco Polycog. These are available from Kragen, special order for the longer ones. I tried the Goodyears but they are thinner and stretch too much for use with a supercharger - that causes tensioner problems and then they slip and turn to dust. I tried 3 Goodyears, one lasted two days and tore, another a week (shredded), the other for about 5 weeks (worn out from slipping). I would get 2 months out of the Daycos.
