Do not use belt dressing. It will soften the material and it will do it more. It will do it if it's not tensioned enough, and if it's overly tensioned. Also over tightened will tear the bearings out of your alternator. So proper tension on a new belt is good as it gets. Do what Ryan posted so that when you start up there is nothing extra being powered. Let the car run for a minute and then hit the tunage. Also do not use Goodyear belts on a mazda. It is guaranteed to squeal like a banshee!
