It works just fine minus the 1 rib and have more traction with the extra pulley. You just have to be extremely careful to make sure the belt is riding on the same ribs of every pulley.

Check out Gates Serpentine High Performance Belts...

"Gates Serpentine Belt-racing Micro-v High Performance V-ribbed Belt "

Their belt design has a shallower rib so it doesn't bottom out on the valley of the pulley [substantially minimizing/eliminating belt slip at that point] but rides on the side walls of the V for more efficient belt/pulley contact surface

I think they are available in a number of lengths and # of ribs, but you'll have to contact them via their on-line 'Contact Us' form to find out for you application.

You can always [carefully] trim down to the max # ribs your pulley is designed for with a sharp box cutter.
You've gone this far - that extra rib just might do you righteous.

By the way ... real nice install :-)
