Make it tighter. New belts stretch soon after use. |

Yeah, I don't like the pulley layout on these cars, you really gotta crank the alt down to keep it from screeching at you. |

Yeah, we really need another pulley or something to make the belt wrap more around the alt... |

If the WP were in the center holding the belt down (the back of the belt turns the WP, like in certain . . . other . . . cars, it would probably be fine. |

Or you could upgrade to more ribs on the pulleys. This is a common upgrade on GTP's to keep the supercharger belt from slipping when modified. |

They already did that, made it a little better, but didn't eliminate the problem. As has been mentioned, there's not enough pulley wrap. I think a larger diameter alternator pulley would be the best solution. |
