I heard that the GT500 Blower Pulley IS NOT removable! Is this true? Do any one know?

that sucks if true!
The supposed issue is that the snout outside diameter is larger so that it comes very close to the blower pulley inside diameter, filling the inside of the pulley so to say. So in theory putting on a smaller diameter pulley would be physically improbable. Folks are talking about a snout & pulley swap to accomplish more boost, etc. But I think we'll need to wait for guys to get the cars & the aftermarket to play around with them before we know for sure.

Yeah Ford made it a PITA to get the pulley off because of all the warrenty issues that pulley swaps caused when people started to do it for the 03/04. Well I guess if you dont have a problem affording the GT500 you sure can afford a new whipple :burnout:

Its true. Its one more HORRIBLE flaw that the GT500 has. Jesus himself arose for this wonderful occasion and personally put the blower pulley on so it can NEVER be removed. Not even the jaws of life are a match for Jesus's magical touch. Looks like we are all stuck with 8,000 pound curb weight and stock boost.
And may I ask where you got your information? Please post a link.

I posted this info well over a year ago! Yes you can pull it off! But you can only gain may 1 lb of boost due to the design of the blower snout!
Go back and do a search, I posted a lot about both the upper and lower pulley.

Haha, this is awesome! Yet another reason to not buy this car. I would get an 03/04 anyday over this pig. Unless something gets pulled out that is really impressive, everything I have heard is sad about this car.

it cost 40k. :bash: if you want to pay more go ahead. i would rather pay 40 and give 25 to charity instead of any dealership.

ford put the snout on as well. so yes someone will remove that and create a smaller snout. the aftermarket is billion dollar industry. if it can be put together they will rebuild it. :lol: :rockon: :beer: specially when we are looking at 8k-10k per year unit run for 4 years. :idea:

even so you could probably do a lower pulley.
