I think the belt becomes more of an issue at higher boost levels. As the boost goes up the pulley size on the blower gets smaller and the surface area reduces even further.

Keep us posted how it goes together. Looks like an interesting project. Doesn't look like you have an intercooler under there, are you going with water/alcohol injection to reduce detonation or have you dropped your comp?

Cheers
