Default Belt chirp after converter install?

After I got my converter and shift kit installed, I got this loud chirping sound from under the hood only at WOT which some of you pointed out as being the serpentine belt.

Well, I changed both belts, drivebelt and AC belt. The drive belt had normal looking wear, no huge cracks or anything, but the AC belt had some big cracks here and there. Drove it around and I still get the same chirp at WOT. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Anyone else experience this?
The belt tensioner isn't adjustable so I don't know what to do.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

Mine does the same with just the shift kit if it doesn't spin the tires that is, so you might as well get used to it.

Only if the tires don't spin I do. I think with the verter it will soften up a little bit. I still have the 16's on there so there easier to spin than your 20's. Well I know there bigger than 16's atleast.

Mine used to do the exact same thing. Hasn't done it since I had the blower installed. I tried replacing belts too and had no luck. Mine started after just a servo install!!

Same here, if the tires chirp on the 1-2 shift the belt doesn't and vice versa. Think it has to do with the asphalt texture?

Yeah, if I do that it also squeeks. Say I stomp it and let off at about 5200RPMs and let off, when it shifts it squeals

Mine does that part /... only if I let off. I figure it was just the blower stressing the belt. I guess it's more than just that thogh.
