In the case of that SC (Jackson Racing), there was enough adjustment available in their tensioner to tighten the belt for smaller pulley sizes. Their setup replaced the car's stock spring tensioner. I'm curious how they are doing it on the Innovate kit. I hope they have spent some time creating a great design for routing and keeping tension on the belt.

The position where the Innovate SC is mounted is great. Just look at the amount of belt wrap around that pulley. It should mean you can run a very small pulley and the belt won't slip over it even at extremely high RPM... as long as the belt remains tight. If the belt slips you start losing psi.
