nope, zero issue with the belt, only switching to the RPM belt just to see the difference.
It should not be snapping belts unless you have the pulleys misaligned, didn't install the belt correctly, or are using the wrong size belt causing the tensioner to not be at the appropriate level of tension. With the normal belt it should be at 75-80% load, with the RPM belt it should be at 25-30% load.
