Whipple 10-Rib Race Belt System (2020–2022 Shelby GT500)
Overview
The Whipple Superchargers 10-Rib Race Belt System for the 2020–2022 Shelby GT500 is a race-proven upgrade engineered to deliver maximum belt grip, durability, and boost consistency on high-powered factory and modified setups. Designed to handle extreme RPM and boost loads, this system dramatically reduces belt slip and improves supercharger drive reliability when pushing your GT500 hard on the street or at the track.
Developed by Whipple using premium components throughout, this 10-rib conversion is the go-to solution for GT500 owners looking to maintain consistent boost under aggressive driving and quarter-mile abuse.
Race-Proven Components
This system features an industry-leading ATI harmonic balancer (available in stock diameter or optional 20% overdrive), paired with a heavy-duty Whipple billet belt tensioner. Lightweight, pocketed hard-coat anodized aluminum pulleys reduce rotating mass while maintaining strength, and an adjustable idler pulley allows precise belt routing for optimal wrap and traction.
A high-quality Gates 10-rib belt completes the system, providing the grip and durability needed for high-boost, high-horsepower applications.
