Throwing Belts
I have had an ASP underdrive pulley for about 4 years now and it has worked great, never had a problem. 3 months ago I put a 150 shot of Nitrous in it and that works great. After the track or if I am having fun with the Nitrous on the freeway I keep throwing belts. The belt doesn't pop off until hours later after driving. Why does the Nitrous cause the belt to jump and why is it happening so long after shooting it.

Are you using the same belt over and over?
If so, thats part of the problem. After a belt gets thrown off, its no good.
The 'shock' the nitrous put on the motor may have stretched the belt b/c of it being old and re-using a stretched belt will cause it to keep kicking off.

I have gotten a new belt every time beacuse they get a little chewed up or have fallen off on the road somewhere. When I put a new belt on it barely fits over the tensioner and the tensioner feels like it is still really strong.

My Crank pulley was loose the first time and I removed it inspected it and re tightened it. It looked good after that. I will probably get that manual tensioner, I have never heard of that before, Thanks Everyone

Another more affordable option is getting an ASP high wall tensioner pulley. It fixed our problem and several friends that had the same problem. If everything is in alignment, then the belt throwing is from the quicker higher reving the engine is no experiencing with the nitrous. The ASP high wall tensioner pulley is cheaper and it's just the pulley itself and slides right on in place of the stock pulley. You may have to call them as I don't think it's on their website, but it'll solve the problem
