Don't race Pontiac's and maybe that wouldn't happen.

Maybe try replaceing the adjuster pully. Mine kept slipping and eating belts so I ordered a new one from mitsu and fixed the problem. Was a bit of a bitch getting her on though. Best of luck.

Not sure if your car is turbo'd or not.

If it's not, you can bypass the tensioner pulley and just use the power steering pump for the tensioner. Doing this usually solves the problem of the belt coming off.
