Default slipping belt

need help. I just put a smaller pulley on my procharger and im experiencing problems. i replaced the belt tensioner, put the smallest belt on that would fit, the goodyear gatorback belt still slips when its floored. any suggestions? anyone know of an eight rib setup i could go with, or a cog belt setup, even an aftermarket manual tensioner would work, but i dont know where to find any of them.

Not sure if this fits the trucks, but it may...

no, it doesn't fit. spacers are required. i am having some made up as we speak and should be ready in a day or so. better slipping than coming off or breaking.
