Vortech belt Help plz

[donbon86]

I just bought a 02 mustang with s-trim and aftercooler pushing about 10 psi. After about a day of beating on it alot of smoke came threw the firewall/shifter. Thought it was clutch slipping but it was spec stage 2 clutch and that wasnt problem. Popped hood and saw the belt was toasted. Do i have a belt problem, alignment problem anybody give any insight. Its only on 1 side and from crank theres only 4 ribs on belt but it only seems like 1 is worn.

I had the same problem with mine when I bought a Chevalier autozone belt, got a green gates HD belt and zero problems so far (20k) part number k061080hd for a 3.6 pulley 1/4" smaller if you have a 3.33

Looks like an alignment problem since the belt is frayed on the edge. You running the stock harmonic balancer? Have you inspected it to see if it is separating? This is the most common reason I have seen for misalignment.
