Belt torque loadings

We are planning to use a 3 cim versaChassis for our drivetrain this year and we are hoping on using a belt drive. Unfortunately without making large cutouts in the the belly pan it would limit us to a 24 tooth pulley on a 9 mm belt and we are worried we would be going over the recommended torque loading.

From the gates documentation it seems that the setup would only be rated for 433 oz.in which is below thew 1000 oz.in the 3 cim drive is rated for especially when accounting for a factor of safety.
