you said that the tensioner moves when you press on teh belt...have you tightened the tensioner pulley? and are you sure you got the right size belt...if there is a manufacture defect (it happens) the belt would say it was the right size but might be just a tad longer.

when it drops under 1k rpm the centrifical force isn't as strong so it could cause slack on the belt = looser = vibrating a little...

hope this helps man...

Sounds like you need to replace the tensioner,since you have a 97.

hey there i got the over size pulley for the tensioner, is there a way to make the spring tighter? it doesnt seem to slow the car down, at the track tonight the fastest time was a 14.57 at 94.30 mph just a little noisey when it goes under 1000 rpm
