In a properly designed system, belt slip is rarely an issue, I can assure you neither application in that video is a good example of a well designed system
, both the systems they compared are just about low cost. A dynamic tensioner is a must and the tensioner system must have enough travel to absorb the amount of belt stretch that occurs at max load. Any system with a manual tensioner will have problems.
It's also amazing to see how far technology has come over the last few years, they were running 12psi on a pretty well worked over 366ci engine (certainty not CARB approved) to get essentially the same power that was posted earlier with a completely stock LT1 and only 7.5psi of boost.
