Default Belt to chain conversion.

We have a 2007 HD night train with the factory 200mm tire. We built a stout 107 with nitrous and are dynoing in over 170 hp. I put a nice Shinko street strip tire on it and was ready to hit the local dragstrip for a couple of passes. I have been practicing starting line launches . I'll get a couple of holeshots and then the bike shreads the belt. Does anyone out there make a belt to chain conversion kit ? I talked to zippers a few months ago, and they were in the R&D stages for my particular application. Have heard of 3GUYZ, but they are closed till monday. Any info, thoughts on this etc. would be much appreciated .
Thanks,
Augie.

According to my copy of "101 Harley Davidson Twin Cam Performance Projects", there are several aftermarket conversion kits available. Offset tranny sprockets are available from Baker, CCI, Bikers Choice and others.
