Ford Racing Technologies has unveiled a new Ford Racing GT500 Supercharger which boosts the performance to 605 horsepower.
LIVONIA, Mich. (October 25, 2007) - Owners of the new Ford GT500 are
justifiably proud of their car and proud of the 500 horsepower under the
hood. Now the engineers at ROUSH and Ford Racing Technologies, the
collective leaders in Ford powertrain development, have unveiled a new
Ford Racing GT500 Supercharger which boosts the performance to 605
The new Ford Racing GT500 Supercharger pushes the horsepower to 605 with
554 lb.-ft of torque while keeping a 1-year/12,000 mile drivetrain
warranty. The complete system also includes a cold air kit and a Ford
Racing ProCal(TM) calibration tool.
This package is now available through Ford Racing Technologies
distributors and directly from ROUSH Performance (online at
www.ROUSHperformance.com or telephone (800) 59-ROUSH). The MSRP is set
at $5,600 (part number M-6066-SGT).
"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."
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.
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.
