Default Short Belt Life

I have had my buggy for 3 years and I have yet to have a drive belt last a full tank of gas. I have upgrade the variator to the Performance Teflon Coated, up graded the variator fan to the Prodigy lightweight "cooler" fan. Upgrade the variator rollers trying both 8 gram and 9.5 gram. I have broken 3 kevlar belts so I don't but them anymore, I can brake 3 stock belts for the price of one kevlar and both only last an hour or less. I have a pro clutch installed with 1500 RPM springs and I've used both the 1500 RPM and 2000 RPM Power spring. I also installed a "cooler" PRODIGY HI PEFORMANCE VENTED BELL HOUSING. I do operate in a lot of hills. I asked my supplier "Blade Power Sports" what could be breaking my belts so fast and got no response.
What is the average belt life and what could be breaking my belts so fast?
