Thanks for all the info guys!

IMO, the chain is the main problem. The stock tensioner is doing the best it can under the circumstances, but it has its design limitations, which verslagen1 has done an excellent job addressing. Or, to put it another way, if the chain didn't stretch so much, the stock tensioner would be fine.

As for me, I got the modded tensioner and a new chain. It might be overkill, but...

Travel kills ignorance.
