Default Think I need a fix..F/I Related

So I popped the hood last night while installing my HID's and found a good amount of belt residue under my hood. The edge of the belt closer to the engine has been chewed slightly. The pulley closest to the charger (pro charger) is for a lack of better word chewed up also. The center of the pulley is lower then the edge and it seems to have some flat spots (see pic its an old pic but the part in the yellow circle is what Im preferring too). Im looking at a flip drive as the fix made by cartek. Anyone have thoughts/ideas?

If it's chewing the belt, it's slipping, and slipping is less power. That's all I know.....

That is the bracket I have on my C5 and it is an awesome upgrade over your current setup. I also put on an 8 rib and upped the boost to a mere 20# and zero slip all the way to 7k

Did you put your in yourself? If so how hard was it and any hints?
