Mark...if you are getting belt slip on a 3.4...something is wrong. There are plenty of people here running it with a 715 belt and no oversized pully w/o any issue.
You may want to check your tensioner.
Congrats on the power up...

Whle the belt is off..did you check bearings and coupler?
We have more than enough belt wrap and unless your belt is too long or greased down..I don't understand why it would slip.

the car only has 51k on it so i doubt the coupler is the issue

i doubt its belt slip. i know on 1337sseis car. the belt would rub after being reved. and we tried to do an oversized tensioner and stock belt. we had to change the belt and reinstall the stock tensioner. everything was fine after that.
