Default Katech Tensioner

Is anyone using the Katech tensioner on there procharged car? It says on the webstie not recommended for supercharged cars. I figured it would help with the belt jumping problems i have from time to time. Any input?

If you have a ATI kit with the 8rib you will be fine, the ATI unit is ran off a separate belt (fbody/GTO).

I figured since the charger has a seperate belt but wanted to ask anyways. Actually got one from a friend of mine John Ward with the Lingenfelter GTO he said it works very good. Ill find out shortly
