Something may be out of round or balance with the pully. Check the ribs on the Pully for no damage that might cause slicing ( Which you probably have ) Checking your hood doesn't have anything touching. Also it isn't good if you just make a sudden lift off the throttle.
4.7 is a lot of Power! I had a Kenne Bell 4.2 on my 2010 SRT8 installed by Tim Barth and these were things he had mentioned when other people had posted up problems.
I hope you get it figured out,
Linda

Thanks Linda,
It was during lift off of pedal after a power hit. I use the gates green belts was maybe looking at the rpm belts see if they hold up better.

You have a pulley issue big time.
Get a gates green belt from Napa.
I change mine ever 12 months regardless of use.

I make more power than that lol with a 4.2 liter
You definitely have serious problems
Good Luck finding a solution

Good for you was not comparing dicks lmao and I would say you probaly are lying as well.
yea I mentioned that I was looking at rpm just trying to find right size they don't offer exact size I use.
How exact does it need to be? What's the tolerance range that the tensioner provides?

Number one thing, to me, is to find if pulleys are all parallel and on the same center. (coplanar)
A laser line-level that you can lock in position (most of them) can cast an accurate line across the pulley centers from multiple locations. In FACT, a couple or more of them, preferably in different colors, simultaneously trained on multiple pulleys can help see if they are all on the same plane and if that plane is perpendicular to the axes of the various pulleys.
If, in order to get your laser lined up on three pulleys from one angle in dead center of pulleys results in a different plane than a laser lined up to hit dead center on three pulleys from a different location, at least one of the pulleys is cocked. The difference may be minute.
Another method is to use a straight edge to see the distance from pulley faces to center of each pulley is consistent.
If any of the grooves on any pulley feel asymmetrical, as in, kinda burr-y on one side of the groove only, it indicates a belt approaching that pulley from an odd angle, which should not be the case.
If this is a long-term problem, my guess is that the Kenne-Bell pulley is not lined up coplanar with the other pulleys, but just slightly, so the wear takes a while to show up. This is no slight on Kenne-Bell, disclaimer disclaimer. It is just the only part of the equation that is not factory, to my knowledge. Also, if you are using one of those slip-on pulley diameter-increasing pulleys, it could be a bit crooked. I doubt the tensioner is able to do this, unless it is grooved, also.

Also, does the Kenne-Bell use a solid upper pulley or a clutched pulley? I think a solid pulley is harder on the belt than is a clutched pulley, is it not?
Much.

I wonder how much horsepower a Top Fueler uses to spin its blower. I heard 800 or so, IIRC.
