yeah.... i dont know if i could put a smaller belt on it.... its pretty tight on there....but i guess at high rpms im guessing maybe the tensioner is moving causing it to slip off.... the crank pulley seems ok cuz both the serpentine and the air conditioning belts are staying on just fine there.... if its the tensioner i dont know if should buy the one from thunder racing....or just another stock replacement.... dont know if i could fit a smaller belt on there....that be nice since the thunder racing tensioner goes for 130 bucs

I had the problem with my stock pulley. Car had about 70k on it at them time and I was turning about 6800 rpms. Doesn't relly mater now car the motor is trashed but when It gets running I already have a new tensioner to put on it.

I bought the Katech pulley. It was a little pricey, but the two belts I shreded wasn't much fun either. I read somewhere on here of new stock tensioners doing the same thing. I didn't want to waste the time so I just got the Katech. It is a quality piece and it doesn't look too bad under the hood either.
Good luck with you decision!

yea man i dont know who told you that........lol................
Mine started to walk off the P/S pully after the first hard run. I installed a new belt thinking the one that came with the UD pully was defective. After installing the new belt I went directly to the track, made one pass & it was walking again. I had a wrech with me so I got the belt back on track & 50 or 60 passes later have had no other problems. I suspect when the belt is new it's weirded out from being in the packaging & needed a little stretch to settle in.
just did my pulley swap with a march pulley and it's walking off the tensioner and p.s. pulley as all you have said above... this was just driving around town.. first 2 days I had my car back on the ground.... and smelling burning rubber.. my car only has 34k miles on it so.... not high milage and non racing still had an issue... I'm gonna order the tensioner from thunder.. hope it fixes my problem and if not at least it looks good....
