Go with a chain if you have any doubts.Then you break all the chains you and want and not be so concerned.

only belt ive seen break was because a rock got in there. id say check to make sure the pulleys are lined up correctly before making the switch to chain.

Broken chains often break transmission cases or inner primaries. Still, for hot rodding a chain is the way to go.
