Default Problem tossing belt, please advise.

I just got my motor put back together, and now anytime I stab the throttle in 1st or 2nd gear, I toss the belt off the engine. Is there anything short of the Katech Tensioner that I can do to remedy this?

Thanks in advance, you guys have always steered me right!

Depends. You can try a stock tensioner if yours is shot, no guarantees. They make just the pulley with the raised edge, never heard of any problems. Or you can get the Katech and a stock pulley and never have a problem again. Easy install. Easier than a TB, which is easy too.
