Ford Racing 2.3 Whipple with new STEEDA 10 rib pully system
While at the track teaching a lady BULLITT owner how to drag race, I met another BULLITT owner with a Whipple and discussed his problems he was having. He had some traction problems and was eating belts on a regular basis.
He came into the shop the next week and we went over his options and I threw his car on the dyno to check his tune for him. We chose to limit his first rounds of mods to a Two-Step for more consistent launches and lower control arms with relocation brackets and an adjustable third link to set the pinion angle properly. I helped him a bit at the Ford VS GM shootout we held at Speed WOrld, I had my hands full with the twin turbo 05 also. His first launch of the day was sweet as hell and almost pulled the wheels off the ground with a 1.61 60ft on M/T Drs. He had fun, but was just shy of getting his 11.xx that he wanted. He just needed a bit more seat time. Well last week he got his 11, sorry I don't remember exactly what it was, but his times steadily went up the whole day. WHen he looked under the hood, he could see another belt going by the wayside. He called me and bit the BULLITT:wink: and had me order the Steeda 10 rib belt kit. It's not cheap at all, but sure as hell solves the problem with belts!.......AND it looks TOTALLY *****IN!!!! Some info from Steeda and then I'll post some installed pics.

With that set up, do you go back to the factory belt and pully setup on the motor? Will the factory tensioner still work with the tab ground off?

How do you get a 1.6 60 foot and not run 11's? Did he miss a shift?
I've never lost a belt, still stock tensioner. |

I've never lost a belt, still stock tensioner. I never lost a belt either with the stock tensioner and have dished out plenty of abuse. What size pulley was he running? |
