Ford Racing’s Supercharger Boosts 5.0 V8 to 624 HP

If the Mustang didn’t already have enough power for you, Ford Racing is releasing new supercharger packages for the new 2011 Ford Mustang’s 5.0-liter V8. I just came across a great writeup about it and I wanted to share it with you so you can go ahead and decide which of the three packages you’re going to want!

Things just got a lot more interesting for owners of the 2011 Ford Mustang. This weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise, Ford Racing released its new supercharger package for the new 5.0-liter V8, turning the already potent pony car into a serious drag-strip contender.

The supercharger system is available in three packages, each utilizing a 2.3-liter Whipple twin-screw supercharger, air-to-liquid intercooler and 47 lb/hr fuel injectors. The base package provides 525 horsepower and 470 pound-feet torque and comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty when installed by a Ford or Lincoln dealer, while the second kit offers 624 hp and 536 lb-ft torque.

Finally, those that want to build their own custom system can opt for the tuner kit, which comes with only the core components but needs to be independently calibrated to work with the engine’s computer.Autoblog
