Help! Burning smell , belt , size

2 months ago i had a broken damper. So i went and change to alta 0% crank pulley and 17% sc pulley. Used the belt that came with it , shredded because of the pulley misalignment. Swapped to gates , 3/4 of hole showing. After a month , i had slipping. Wasnt happy so i tried on gatorback 4060537 today. No hole showing at all , power is better but im having trouble with burning smell on hard acceleration and i can tell that its coming from the belt area. Can somebody explain what is wrong. Size of belt?

You need a 532 belt. You are using too long of a belt and it is slipping causing it to slip and burn.

Rip the crank pulley off immediately and throw it in the trash.
Undampened crank pulleys will destroy your engine.
Get an ATI super damper or stick with stock.

I just put the +2% ATI on the last weekend. Very nice piece!

I put the ATI on mine last summer. It's amazing how much smoother the engine is when taking off in first gear. It doesn't lug and buck like it used to.
