I'm upgrading to the DSX pulley system with the LT5 tensioner and a 10 rib conversion. I've seen some other posts about the whipple and maggie having this same issue when you start pushing high boost. Just curious if anyone else had run into a similar issue before.
I had a very small rub mark on my belt. Took it to my build shop and put it in the air. Builder showed me small spot on torsion bar where belt hit.

When the car lifts off it's suspension in the front, the bar comes up. Some pully combos might be susceptible to causing a rub on the belt. Lift off on the line just might be enough but, we are not experts. There are very high up / down hills where I live with a lot of open farm land. The car has hill topped a couple of times and I am now more carefull. Keeping a close eye on this and we will space the bar more away from the area if it shows again.
