When ROUSH Performance announced it was upgrading its ROUSHcharger, the popular aftermarket specialist was just getting started. Recently, the company teamed with Ford Racing Technologies to announce an upgrade to the GT500 Supercharger. If GT500 owners weren’t satisfied with the 500 horsepower the supercharger cranked out before, they should be blown away with the boost to 605 horsepower.
That figure is accompanied by 554 lb.-ft of torque, a cold air kit and the Ford Racing ProCal™ calibration tool. The 1-year or 12,000 mile drive train warranty isn’t too shabby either.
"Ford developed a magnificent engine with the creation of the 5.4-liter V-8 engine. They are able to pull 500 horsepower which is amazing for a street car and it's no wonder it has quickly become one of the most sought-after Mustangs," said Jack Roush. "But we thought we could get a little more out of that engine. In tandem, we were able to pull another 105 horsepower without compromising the warranty and I have no doubt that this new Ford Racing Supercharger will be in very high demand by owners of the Shelby GT500."
According to ROUSH Performance, “the cold air intake kit considerably reduces pressure drop across the stock air box and filter element. It comes with a high-flow, large 6-inch conical filter and the rotomolded airbox seals to the hood to reduce leakage. Again, the bottom line is less loss equals more airflow which results in more power.”
“The Ford Racing GT500 Supercharger is a new TVS roots-style technology and features a considerable improvement in both airflow and efficiency. The bottom line is the more airflow, the more power. Noteworthy is that this is the first application that will be incorporating this new technology, both on the OE and aftermarket side.”
