So opened the hood and found this...
I'm assuming this is the reason for my extreme power loss. Can someone please tell me what this belt goes to? It looks like the thickest of the belts. Should I completely stop driving the car and get it towed to the shop this weekend? I'm unsure how long its been like this, but I've had power loss for about a month now, but I thought it was due to moving and the car being at very high elevation now but opened the hood for the first time in a while and saw this. Very concerning as I feel I've probably been driving it like that for a month or so, but can't be completely sure. Any tips or thoughts? Thank you.

That’s the supercharger belt. That just happened. I don’t see how you could have driven it for a month like that. I’m sure it would have chewed the belt up.

Looks like the belt for the supercharger. I’m really surprised you didn’t notice the boost gauge while driving around! I wouldn’t drive it to the shop to get it replaced unless you are real close. I mean if you have driving it that way for a month then it might not hurt it but I wouldn’t chance it. Good luck.

Belt was probably slipping for about a month and recently came off. You would think it would throw a code....

Probably just happened then if you have been hearing the s/c whine. Hopefully that’s the case! Oh yeah, don’t underestimate the hp of those stock 5.0 liter Coyotes as they are very fast and will give you a good run!

So the belt came off and this is the damage that was done to it. Is this belt to damaged to use? Even temporarily until I get a new one? Also included a video of the boost gague. Its in the negatives, not sure exactly what it pertains to. Drove it to the store and back going to see if i can get the belt back on shortly

I would not reuse that belt. Buy a new one.

Boost gauge is in the negative because the intake manifold pressure on a Normally Aspirated engine is a vacuum vs. a positive pressure of a Forced Air Induction motor... If you need to drive the car a bit, drive it VERY gently and you shouldn't cause any damage, just get a new belt ASAP... |

Gonna order a new belt now, and guess this gives me a reason to order a borla exhaust for her...or many a flowmaster...decisions |
Crap, sorry to bug you guys again but trying to find the OEM part number for the belt that got torn up a bit. Making sure I got the correct part #. Seems like its part #12668317
