Default procharger belt slippage

I replaced the belt on my car yesterday and today the dayum thing is squeaking like h***! Its got a manual belt tensioner on it and i thought i had it tight enough, its as tight as i could get it though. If anyone has had this problem or could give me some helpful input, muchly appreciate that!!

Did you get the right size?
What brand did you have and what brand do you currently have?
Was the old one slipping also?

The old one was a notched rib belt and this one has solid ribs, i dont know if thats what the prob is or not but they are the same size! My car is set up with one serpintine belt to pull everything, how tight sould the belt be with a p-1 sc?

The solid ribed belts are def better. My p-1 uses 2 belts, the oe and the drive belt for the head unit. I have the factory ATI auto adjuster that came w/ the kit. If it's all the way tight and you're out of adjustment, try the next smaller size belt. You may have to "walk" the smaller belt on but if that's what it takes, do it.
