take a look at the serp belt. if it looks worn, replace it and see if it helps.

Yea it would seem if it was the belt it would do it all the time not just on hard acceleration, if it looks worn go ahead and get a new one but my guess whould be the tensioner also.

A gator belt will also help. The idler pullies are very cheap and easy to replace.

From what I could see and feel the belt looks to be in good shape, how much are the idler pullies and what are they made out of?

Idler pully is $14 at AutoZone, takes about five minutes to change.
