is that 2.79 on 42 lb injectors ..you maybe going static over 5500 rpms cause of your duty cycle....and with no cooling mods..you might be knockin and your car will pull timing and you'll lose power

your injectors are definitely going static and are most likely dangerously lean, not to mention creating way more heat with the 2.79. do not go w0t again until you get tuned with 60#s. i have seen cars running 2.8 on 42#s with afr as lean as 13.1. keep this up and your injectors are gonna pack their **** and go home.

im in 11.8 to 12.1 in AFR according to the tunning software and my wideband its in the perfect zone for the car and im almost positive there not going static they will only go static when i hit 7200 rpm thats y i put redline back to 7000 witch it is 12.1 AFR

^^^yes. still going static. look at your injector duty cycle and/or injector pulsewidth. i would guess you are way over 20msec pulsewidth and way over 100% idc.
you need more fuel than 12:1 afr especially if you are running a 2.79 with no cooling mods. your IAT2 is probably through the roof unless j00 has mad cooling modz y0.

as for the tensioner, unless your boost is jumping up and down and/or you seem to be getting "flat spots" in acceleration at w0t, you arent gettign belt slip and dont need a tensioner. the stage 2 belt alone is usually good for the 2.8/2.79
