ford racing has unveiled a new twin-screw supercharger picture

The 2011 Ford Mustang GT already boasts a racy 5.0L Coyote V8 engine that will allow the driver to experience 412 galloping ponies out on the road, but why would Ford stop there? If the GT’s engine is that successful then they have no choice, but to use a little more training to get that pony to the level we feel it should be. To that, Ford Racing has unveiled a new 2.3L twin-screw supercharger for the 2011 Mustang that will increase the 5.0 liter V8 engine’s output to an impressive 624hp SAE @ 6900 rpm and 536 lb-ft SAE @ 4700 rpm.

This supercharger comes as a complete package, and is available in three levels: a 525 hp kit with a 12/12 warranty, a 624 hp kit, and a tuner kit for racing and extreme enthusiasts.

The Ford Racing Supercharger 624hp Kit is priced at $7,499.00 (black) and $8,099.00 (polished chrome) and includes a 2.3L twin-screw supercharger assembly, intake manifold, complete air-to-liquid intercooler system, drive belt, 47 lb./hr., high-impedance fuel injectors, and Ford Racing ProCal tool with performance calibration.

"Superchargers are the ultimate in power upgrades for Mustang enthusiasts," says George Goddu, Ford Racing Performance Group Manager. "Calibration for a modern V8 engine, especially one with twin-independent variable cam timing, is incredibly complex. Production calibration for the 5.0 engine took 19 months. Having that knowledge base to work from is a huge advantage."

Press release

Ford Racing has announced today the availability of a new, 2.3L twin-screw supercharger for the 2011 Mustang. When mated to the all-new 5.0L 4V TiVCT V8 engine, this 50-state-legal powertrain, can produce 624 hp SAE @ 6900 rpm and 536 lb-ft SAE @ 4700 rpm. This is the first Twin-screw unit available to consumers.

The new supercharger is Ford Racing’s first power upgrade component for the new 5.0 engine. It was developed by Ford Racing engineers, in close collaboration with Ford Motor Company’s powertrain engineers, Team Mustang, and key partners in Roush and Whipple. The supercharger is being seen for the first time Saturday at the annual Woodward Dream Cruise in Ford’s Mustang Alley display.

"Superchargers are the ultimate in power upgrades for Mustang enthusiasts," says George Goddu, Ford Racing Performance Group Manager. "Calibration for a modern V8 engine, especially one with twin-independent variable cam timing, is incredibly complex. Production calibration for the 5.0 engine took 19 months. Having that knowledge base to work from is a huge advantage.

"In fact we had the whole engineering background of the engine right from initial concept," Goddu added. "With that knowledge base, and extensive collaboration across the team, we are able to offer a top-notch supercharger, induction kit and the optimum calibration. This results in great power, drivability and durability."

"After more than 100 hours of accelerated durability testing, the entire Ford Racing package performed flawlessly," reports Dev Saberwal, Ford Racing’s lead calibration engineer. "Ford Racing performance parts are subjected to extensive testing to ensure optimum performance across a broad range of conditions."

This supercharger comes as a complete package, and it’s available in three levels: a 525 hp kit with a 12/12 warranty; a 624 hp kit and a tuner kit for racing and extreme enthusiasts. Each of these impressive kits gives 2011 Mustang owners the opportunity to boost the performance of their cars to new levels.

Ford Racing Performance Parts offers a large selection of performance products from complete race cars to injectors. For Mustang enthusiasts Ford Racing’s catalog of performance upgrades offers a range of enhancements for the 2011 Mustang as well as a wide range of power, chassis-system and appearance upgrades for 2010, 2005-2009 and earlier Mustangs.

I agree with you onielbryan , what you said is true. Honestly, I don’t consider the v8 as a powerful and modern technology,its outdated actually. And i think if they want a more speed they need to be trimmed down the car.

I thought the base 5.0 was already outrunning the SS in a straight line?

Honestly people are gonna call me crazy but I dont think the GT needs that much power. Maybe basic bolt on and a tune but I think the car is perfectly balanced right now. May few suspension bits from Steeda n your golden.

I love all the Ford Mustang trims and models (and pretty much all current Ford vehicles), but the top notch supercharger package would be best suited in the Ford GT to compete with the ’Vette ZR1 and Viper ACR!!

I imagine the base supercharger package will be the heart of the upcoming GT350 (which is awesome, but could hurt GT500 sales...

Well I’m not just into drag racing i prefer road courses and no point in having more power than you can put to pavement effectively.

The 2011 GT is very slightly faster in a straight line than any of the comparable camaros. Anyone saying different hasnt done their homework.
