Default drive line slipping

2013 HD Streetglide with a Screamin Eagle Stage 4, 113 cu in kit installed.
when under a hard acceleration the bike feels like it is skipping a tooth on a sprocket. It jumps or skips at a regular rate when at full throttle. It feels like it is jumping a tooth on a gear or something. I am trying to find what it could be.

The belt may be missing a tooth or two or the belt tension is off. I can't think of anything beyond that, that will cause it..

How many miles does it have on it? I just had to replace my belt because the belt teeth were all cracked and about to let go. My bike has 75k on it though.

My CVO did something similar and it turned out I broke a tooth on the clutch basket. Good luck
