I'm not questioning wether you made that kind of boost...I'm sure you did but my point is that on a 112 cube Eaton it just isn't stressing the 8 rib drive belt like a larger blower or in the case of the 3.3 whipple (almost 202 cubes) almost twice as big.
I'm questioning the drive system on a big blower at high boost, not the high boost by itself.
