Catch 22

Short-beltReplacing the stock accessory drivebelt on your 5.0 with a "short-belt" that eliminates the power steering pump and the air pump will reduce the parasitic losses and increase the available power at the wheels. For the price of a belt (about $25), you can reduce elapsed time by another tenth of a second or more in the quarter-mile. Generally, this is worth about 10-15 horsepower on a typical 5.0 Mustang. In most cases ('87-93) a 70 1/2-inch belt will work, but your engine may require a slightly longer or slightly shorter one to work. View Related Article
