2020-2022 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500
BILLET SPRING-LOADED BELT TENSIONER

The Whipple billet spring-loaded belt tensioner is a direct replacement upgrade for compatible 2020-2022 Shelby GT500 5.2L applications. It is designed for high-performance belt-drive setups where the stock tensioner can run out of adjustment, lose belt control, or contribute to belt slip.

Built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, this upgraded tensioner features a black anodized finish, dual-bearing arm support, and increased travel compared to the stock tensioner. The added travel helps provide more adjustment range and improved belt control for modified supercharger drive combinations.

The tensioner is supplied with a 2.50 in. idler pulley. Due to the change in tensioner geometry, belt length must be verified during installation. Gates K080680 is typically recommended for stock pulley configurations. Modified crank pulley, balancer, or supercharger pulley combinations may require a different belt.
