American Racing Solutions Billet Racing Belt Tensioner, 60 lb. Spring (9760) - 2005-2010 Mustang GT
Improve belt control on your high-horsepower 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT with the American Racing Solutions Billet Racing Belt Tensioner. Designed for demanding supercharged performance applications, this Race version features a heavy-duty 60 lb. spring and is an ideal choice for Mustang GT combinations producing more than 1,000 RWHP.
Precision CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum rather than cast material, the ARS tensioner combines excellent strength, durability, and machining accuracy. A custom-wound performance spring, hardened steel shaft, and heavy-duty bearings work together to maintain more consistent belt tension under the increased loads associated with high-horsepower supercharged applications.
Maintaining proper belt tension becomes increasingly important as horsepower, boost, and engine speed increase. This American Racing Solutions tensioner is engineered to significantly improve belt tension and reliability compared to the factory tensioner, helping reduce unwanted belt slip and support more consistent supercharger performance.
