Default Serpentine belts For a Supercharger

I was courious how often you guys changed your serpentine belt on a supercharged engine. My car has one belt that runs everthing. My belt broke last night after one year. Luckly I was on straight road. But it was a bitch trying to turn it without any power steering. Thanks,

i change mine when they break. i dont think i had a belt make it past 10k miles. your lucky your car didnt overheat driving it without the water pump is risky.

one belt shredded because i peddled it when i was smoking the tires
one shredded because a pulley failed
one shredded because i was doin some donuts with some drifts mixed in
one shredded becuase i made a u-turn and peddled the gas belt jumped a rib
the last belt was my fault i havent driven the car in over a year.

thats 200+ in belts in 23k miles. my car is a bitch and yes all my pullies are aligned perfectly.
