Default F1x Bypass Valves? Keep breaking belts

Are the high Horsepower F1x guys doing ok with 1 Red bypass valve or needing to add a second? I keep breaking belts after I get into boost at higher rpm's and then letting out. I believe my pulley alignment is good and will check with a laser this week. This is on a green HD Gates 10 rib.

Yes either the new upgraded single from procharger or as we did 2. Too much shock and not bleeding off quick enough. Hell it was like we still had the gas pedal pushed.

yes you either need the new ProCharger upgraded Bypass or do like we did and had to we needed to because it was too much shock when we let off the gas it's like we still have the gas pedal on and it would break bolts constantly call wanted to keep going as well let me know if you need any other suggestions we've upgraded to bigger pipes the power charger intercooler was done at a certain horsepower level as well when I have the upgraded G2 Pro along with the g2 Pro intake and 4 inch pipes

Dave I was on 8 rib set up please give me a message & let me know what you got to fix this problem. If I do any more upgrade it will be to a F1X on the car.

My buddy had the same problem, added another big red and all is well. Did you have that problem on the C5?

No not at all never did lose a belt on the f1x. But did on the YSI just was no lined up correct was just a little off & after heavy boost & letting off it would eat up the belt or totally do like his did. Plus I was on 8 rib but had some slip on the f1x but it did do really good.. Robert

Got this big **** today. I don't have room to add a 2nd big red with my custom A2W setup, so hopefully this will work. It is supposed to outflow 2 big reds.
