With the omnipresent risk of supercharger belt slip, many Ford Mustang owners loathe the notion of power loss and even worse, a broken belt.  Steeda Autosports has developed a noteworthy solution to this widespread dilemma with their Steeda Supercharger Belt Drive system for Whipple superchargers.  The new Steeda Belt Drive setup, when tested, showed improved boost pressure (12 to 13 psi) from the standard rating of the Whipple's 10psi; illustrating the reduction in belt slip.  When a Whipple-blown Mustang is pushed even harder, the pulley setup also has a retention wall for the belt to keep it in place and out of harm's way, pulling and generating the power it was meant to rather than becoming an expensive underhood bull whip.  Keep reading to get the full scoop from Steeda and check out their Whipple Belt system in action.

The 2010 Mustang has certainly made some waves since its debut with its sleeked out & redesigned body and most recently, the announced release of the new 2010 Shelby GT500.  Now, as if that weren't enough, Ford has sweetened the treats a little bit more with an extensive lineup of wheels to choose from.  The Ford booth at the recent Detroit Auto Show held host to a wall of wheels that were specifically designed to match the Mustang's new mantra.  We think, from an internal standpoint at Ford, this offering is healthy and good--it could prove to bring additional funds back into their direct market as opposed to the outflow to the aftermarket.  Continue on to see the great set of wheel choices offered for the Ford Mustang.
