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 after the jump. 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.

onielbryan (217) Posted on 12.29.2010 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.

martybrown (129) Posted on 11.2.2010 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!!

cyrus_parca (539) Posted on 09.21.2010 I imagine the base supercharger package will be the heart of the upcoming GT350 (which is awesome, but could hurt GT500 sales...

Joewaldner (571) Posted on 09.15.2010 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.
rielle_brown (859) Posted on 08.24.2010 The 2011 GT is very slightly faster in a straight line than any of the comparable camaros. Anyone saying different hasnt done their homework.
papy_chulo (600) Posted on 08.23.2010 How fast is their tuner kit? I love the new design of this Supercharger.
