Nice, the fact that the cobra had a 100 shot, didn't leave much room for the Vett to compete... But damn, that Vett was pretty fast!

There would be no reason for the serpentine belt to slip with turbos, no bypass valve closing to put stress on the belt system, thats what I meant if he did have belt slippage it wouldn't do anything to the power it would just be the water pump, ac and alt. caused by a loose tensener .

The key difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is its power supply. Something has to supply the power to run the air compressor. In a supercharger, there is a belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does. A turbocharger, on the other hand, gets its power from the exhaust stream. The exhaust runs through a turbine, which in turn spins the compressor (see How Gas Turbine Engines Work for details).

LIKE I SAID!! if the vette has twin turbos it only has a belt for the AC, ALT , Water pump and Power steering pump.

not going to argue with you.. You can still have belt slip with a turbo. Belt can be worn, antifreeze on the belt, idler pulley going bad, and the list goes on. That is what the vett guy said, you were not there to know the cause. Please leave the troubleshoot to the experts:)
