Supercharger belt replacement schedule

Got about 40-50K on the sc and preparring for any maintenance. Got 80K on the engine.

Should I replace the belt?
Where can I get them?
Any official schedule from comptech?
What other maintenance would you recommend?

Searched but kept coming up with the same 2000 threads. Nothing I could find.

Thanks

Belt replacement should be dependent upon the condition of the belt, cracking, fraying, splitting? For the low cost of the belt, I'd install a new one and keep the old for an emergency.Goodyear Poly-V, Serpentine, 6-Rib, 94.50 in. Length, 4060945.

Thank you. I have also heard of servicing the sc itself but it might cause more issues then good. Any one else?

Comptech's instructions state that the blower needs sevicing at 70,000+ miles. one of the items, I know, calls for changing the compressor oil. I got like 50K on mine, but havent looked into it.

i would check/replace spark plugs while your at it. I'm currently changing my battery, so I went ahead and replaced the plugs with the same denso ones. Old plugs were ok IMO but kinda sooty, so I just replaced em.

Another thing; check the SC idler pulley for wear. I replaced my first one a while back, after noticing the belt wore it down pretty good. Now I'm gonna try a metal pulley from an old tensioner I had laying around (it's the exact same size). I dont like the flimsy plastic pulley the kit comes with, plus I believe the second idler pulley I put on is now making a chirping noise at around 2200 RPM. I hope it works out!
