Something to think about also is that if the belt has slipped, it's gotten hot, which can cause the belt to 'glaze' over. So I would try a new belt, but try and stay out of boost for a little while. One way to make sure is leave your bypass valve open and just drive around for the day. This helps put a little heat into the belt, which will stretch it, but won't overheat it and cause it to glaze over. After it's been heat cycled a few times, go ahead and re-tighten the tensioner and you should see less belt slippage.

yeah tommorow i am going to order a new belt from the parts store,and put it on i will try that and just drive it normal and not get on it,then retighten the belt,maybe a new belt will get me 1-2 more psi? Would be cool to see 15psi should make good power,can't wait to get to the track and see what it will do in the 1/4

Check out some of the car audio forums for ideas on setting up idler pulley's, a lot of guys running 4 300 amp alts have 5-7 idler pulley's at the alts to keep the belt tight on them. Check out this vid, at about 1:00 watch the underhood of the white Tahoe and look how he has his idler's set up, pause it about 1:09-1:10 and you can get a real good look. His outside alt has AWESOME wrap, try for something like that, and if you still have problems try to get your balancer wrap tighter also.
