Belt Slipping?

Okay I just put on my 25% underdrive pulley and a bigger alternator pulley, and bought the right size belt, install it, and every time I go WOT it slips off the power steering pump, tensioner, and water pump? what could cause this?

Slight misalignment? How many miles on the tensioner? Have you considered a Katech tensioner ?

I am repeating myself for the question on what tensioner. Katech's adjustable tensioner is great from what I've been told and seen so far.

I'm hoping its the tensioner, it has been on the car since it was made, so it might be time for a new one lol where can I get one? thats pretty decent.
