3 years? Lets not exagerate quite so much. Its been about a year now and something this big and with all the new technology it features, takes some time to develop. As for belt issues, 99% of them are from incorrect setups. You ever see how many belt issues customers with PSI's have when they try to make power? Almost all had to go to kevlar belts. Ask any drag racer how belts live with there PSI's.
Pure P sure loses alot of belts ,and thats surely not an incorrect set-up being built & maintained with an open checkbook and it was 3 years you were looking for $$$$ coin to continue with the developement ..
and i'd take a Kevlar belt & a PSI and finish a run, then keep throwing belts and snout problems on the whirple ..

You forgot to mention that the intercoolers "someone" built for you over 10yrs ago are still running and they don't leak/burn up! See ya around Gary!

My Whipples work great!! Belts lasted all season last year. Put new ones on this year and all good. Need to run them really floppy when cold so they arent running tight when the motors grow when warmed up. Simple but overlooked by some.
