Thank you all for your responses. Newton's law says "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". More hp/tq says something has to give (tires/belt). I'm overthinking things again! Just wanted to be sure that when I am ready to ride, so is the SB. Just a few more secs for pre/post ride check.

Yeah, you'll be fine. I know a member on here with a ultra with a 124" thats putting out 150+ hp&tq and is running the stock belt! Its all on how you ride that will cause the belt to fail.

Don't worry about it. I do the 100 yd. dash with the crotch riders regularly, and mine is holding up fine. I'm running the 30/66 setup, and the only problem I've had is the compensator. Real piece of crap. SE comp fixed that, though.
