Save yourself some grief, and don't set the tension hot. Always check or set the belt tension on a cold engine, before the engine has been started for the first time that day.
And don't use a twist test or belt deflections if you have access to a good gauge. Deflection tests are especially un-reliable since the different evolutions of the belt have different thicknesses and strength/ stiffness. They don't all react the same to a deflection load.
