get your clutches aligned and they will run cooler.Aligned my clutches on my 02 SRX and the clutches never get hot.When belts start to get hot,this is when they will explode.
 
I've looked around for your answer as a post similar to this was done a few day's ago and I think your issue is similar.

In that post Turk mentioned that the heel clickers cannot pull that steep (in this post it was a 47*) helix. Since your running a stock secondary you might have the same issue. Your stock helix is a 45* but that is still pretty steep. Maybe he will chime in on this and help you out.
 
You must be slipping the belt. Probably not enough side pressure to handle the rest of the setup. Like said above, get Turk's input as he has likely tested a similar setup.

There are many others on here (some rarely or never post, but they know who they are) that have likely run the same setup also.
 
forget the dealership allignment first off

second why the stock secondary

as stated above this is most likely the issue
