squeaking

i got the alta v2 15% pulley installed and what i have noticed is that when the car is not warmed up there is a very slight squeaking sound, but once the car warms up the sound is gone. You really have to pay attention to hear the squeaking otherwise you will miss it. I am using the 06035 napa belt. Also when stock after a rain the belt would squeek pretty bad for a minute than go away really fast. After it rained with the new pulley/belt the squeaking stayed til the car got completley warmed up, is this normal? Once the car reaches its normal level on the temp guage theres no squeek whatsoever....
